General Description
Cadmium chloride is a white crystalline compound of cadmium and chlorine with the formula CdCl2. It is a hygroscopic solid that is highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. Although it is considered to be ionic it has considerable covalent character to its bonding. The crystal structure of cadmium chloride (described below) composed of two-dimensional layers of ions is a reference for describing other crystal structures. Also known are CdCl2.H2O and CdCl2.5H2O.
