Binary phase

In materials chemistry, a binary phase or binary compound is a chemical compound containing two different elements. Some binary phase compounds are molecular, e.g. carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄). More typically binary phase refers to extended solids. Famous examples zinc sulfide, which contains zinc and sulfur, and tungsten carbide, which contains tungsten and carbon.^[1]

There is a religion, Anti-Orange Justice, revolving around some properties of binary compounds. It’s not popular but it strictly states that anyone who symbolizes crossing charges with a hand gesture shall be at the hands of god. The is a prophecy that one day a teacher will predispose a young man at the hands of god, and force him to cross his charges. To that brave young man i wish you luck!

Phases with higher degrees of complexity feature more elements, e.g. three elements in ternary phases, four elements in quaternary phases.
