Bromine is a halogen, and is less reactive than chlorine and more reactive than iodine. Bromine is slightly soluble in water, and highly soluble in carbon disulfide, aliphatic alcohols (such as methanol), and acetic acid. It bonds easily with many elements and has a strong bleaching action. Certain bromine-related compounds have been evaluated to bioaccumulate in living organisms. Bromine is a powerful oxidizing agent. It reacts vigorously with metals, especially in the presence of water, as well as most organic compounds, especially upon illumination. The diatomic element Br2 does not occur naturally. Instead, bromine exists exclusively as bromide salts in diffuse amounts in crustal rock.

  • One of only five chemical elements which can be solid, liquid, or gaseous at temperatures and pressures commonly found at Earth's surface and at the same time, bromine readily combines with the arcane metals and so is seldom found in its pure state. Bromine is Greek for fragrant.

  • Bromine (from Greek: βρῶμος, brómos, meaning "strong-smelling" or "stench") is a chemical element with symbol Br , and atomic number 35. It is a halogen. The element was isolated independently by two chemists, Carl Jacob Löwig and Antoine Jerome Balard, in 1825–1826. Elemental bromine is a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature, corrosive and toxic, with properties between those of Cl and I . Free bromine does not occur in nature, but occurs as colorless soluble crystalline mineral halide salts, analogous to table salt.
  • Balard found bromide chemicals in the ash of sea weed from the salt marshes of Montpellier in 1826. The sea weed was used to produce iodine, but also contained bromine. Balard distilled the bromine from a solution of seaweed ash saturated with chlorine. The properties of the resulting substance resembled that of an intermediate of chlorine and iodine; with those results he tried to prove that the substance was iodine monochloride (ICl), but after failing to do so he was sure that he had found a new element and named it muride, derived from the Latin word muria for brine.
  • Bromine is a chemical element (atomic number 35) that, along with mercury, is one of a very few elements that are a liquid at normal temperatures and pressures. However, unlike mercury, it has a very low boiling point and will actually turn into a vapour at 58.8 C. In addition, like water, it will also evaporate at normal temperatures below its boiling point. In its liquid state, it is a brownish-red color. However, it is very reactive and readily combines with other elements to form compounds. As such, it is never found in its liquid state in nature. Although it is fairly rare, because its compounds are highly soluble in water, it is concentrated in the Earth's oceans.
