What are chlorides?
Eric talks about the difference between the valence states of the chlorine atom. Cl+ is different from chlorides, which are Cl-. Chlorides are inert, but they can be recharged into chlorine gas with a salt chlorine generator, and they also interfere with stainless steel's chromium oxide layer, helping chlorine corrode it.
