– Consistency with the subcategories and the other articles in Category:Chemical compounds by element, such as Argon compounds and its parallel Category:Argon compounds. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 05:05, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support all. I'm all for consistency, and the old format will still get searchers to the right place via redirects. Mdewman6 (talk) 16:42, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Starting the article titles with the element rather that "compounds" is better for searches. Rreagan007 (talk) 23:21, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support all per the above two. Double sharp (talk) 06:41, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Start with a plan

This article seems to be a well-intentioned but pile of random stuff and factoids. I mean: read the first paragraph. Readers expect to see organized plan for COMPOUNDS, not alloys, not reactions, not electron configuration, not Al metal. Why not start with a plan, then fill it in. Greenwood and Earshaw is a good starting point, perhaps. Another possible plan is below, but we need to start with a plan.

Oxidation state (III)

  • halides
    • binaries
    • ate compounds
  • binary chalcogenides
    • binaries
    • ate compounds
  • organic derivatives (see organoAl)
  • metal organic complexes
