Hexachloride

Lindane, also known as gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane, (γ-HCH), gammaxene, Gammallin and erroneously known as benzene hexachloride (BHC),[3] is an organochlorine chemical variant of hexachlorocyclohexane that has been used both as an agricultural insecticide and as a pharmaceutical treatment for infestations of lice and scabies.

Gold(III) chloride, traditionally called auric chloride, is the chemical compound with the formula AuCl3. The Roman numerals in the name indicate that the gold has an oxidation state of +3, which is common for gold in its compounds. The other chloride of gold, gold(I) chloride (AuCl), is less stable than AuCl3.

The name of the lowest note of the musical scale known to medieval theory, G on the bottom line of the bass stave. Where the hexachord was based on it, it received the name of ‘gamma-ut’ (hence ‘gamut’), and in France the name of the scale is still gamme.

Sulfur hexachloride (scl6) is an inorganic, colorless, odorless, non-toxic and non-flammable gas (under standard conditions). Scl6 has an octahedral geometry, consisting of six fluorine atoms attached to a central sulfur atom. It is a hypervalent molecule.

Tungsten hexachloride is the chemical compound with the formula WCl6. This dark violet blue species exists as a volatile solid under standard conditions. It is an important starting reagent in the preparation of tungsten compounds. [1] WCl6 is a rare example of a charge neutral hexachloride, another example being ReCl6. MoCl6 cannot be prepared.
