hal·o·gen (hăl'ə-jən)
n.
Any of a group of five chemically related nonmetallic elements including
fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
I would defer to a chemist as to its stability, but the toxicity of the
other forms, and especially penta- and octa-, is less disputed.
While RoHS does allow for the use of Deca, not all halogen free legislation
does. Some go so far as to restrict the use of PVC as well.

Hi Camille, OrganicChemistry-UnChallenged IPC LF Listservers,
This is from a note by Camille, and I was wondering about a small point
that probably I should know.
<====
<I'll admit that when I first started reading about the RoHS and
other "green" technology issues a couple of years ago, I would sometimes
call something "halogen-free" rather than type out "does not contain the
PBBs or PBDE's, specifically penta-BDE and octa-BDE [because deca-BDE is
still okay, so even saying all poly-BDEs isn't technically correct] that
are banned by RoHS". The discussion early last year showed me that when I
was asking "halogens", I was using a far more generic term than I realized.>
<=====
penta is 06 I believe
octa is 08
deca is 10
If the above is correct what makes deca so much more stable.
Yours in Engineering, Dave
