Answer:
Chloride and fluoride are chemicals commonly found in soil and rocks. Although chloride and fluoride belong to the same chemical group (the halogens), their behavior in the environment differs. Chloride is very mobile in ground water, while fluoride is rendered immobile in the presence of aluminum and iron oxides.
