Chlorides are compounds that contain chlorine in the 1- oxidation state. The term usually refers to compounds with the Cl- ion such as sodium chloride. However it is sometimes applied to covalent compounds such as methyl chloride.
Examples: chlorides, phosphates, nitrates, sulfides, vanadates etc.
Presence of bicarbonates of chlorides or sulphates of calcium or magnesium in water are the main causes of hardness of water.
Sulfur chlorides are: SCl2, S2Cl2, S3Cl2, SCl4.
Because of content of Sodium and Potassium Chlorides, which are salty in taste.
One Ca (Calcium) and Two Cl (Chlorides)
Two iron chlorides are known: FeCl2 and FeCl3.

Some chlorides are soluble (NaCl), some chlorides are insoluble (AgCl) in water.
Most metal chlorides are soluble. The exceptions include lead chloride and silver chloride.
Generally chlorides are soluble in water. But not all the chlorides: for example the silver chloride, AgCl.
