[edit] Not a chemical compound??

Why doesn't a class of compounds count as a compound? "Bromide" is both the name of the ion Br- (not a compound), AND the name of a class of chemical salts that ARE compounds. SBHarris 22:45, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I think the idea is to include in wikiproject chemicals only articles about specific compounds, with chemical infoboxes, CAS numbers and so on (although the bromide ion does have a CAS number!). I don't really agree, but really, the exact wikiproject listed in the talk page (chemistry vs chemicals) is nothing to lose sleep about. :-) --Itub (talk) 09:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
