	Chemistry : Periodic Table : bromine : key information
		Bromine is available commercially so it is not normally necessary to make it in the laboratory.
		In this treatment, bromide is oxidized to bromine by the chlorine gas.
		The principle of oxidation of bromide to bromine is shown by the addition of a little chlorine water to aqueous solutions of bromide.

	Bromine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bromine is the only liquid nonmetallic element at room temperature and one of five elements on the period table that are liquid at or close to room temperature.
		Bromine is slightly soluble in water, and highly soluble in carbon disulfide, aliphatic alcohols (such as methanol), and acetic acid.
		Bromine is also used in the manufacture of fumigants, brominated flame-retardants, water purification compounds, dyes, medicines, sanitizers, inorganic bromides for photography, etc. It is also used to form intermediates in organic synthesis, where it is preferred to iodine due to its much lower cost.

	Bromine - MSN Encarta
		Bromine is so similar in its chemical properties to chlorine, with which it is almost invariably associated, that it was not recognized as a separate element until 1826, when it was discovered and isolated by the French chemist Antoine Jérôme Balard.
		Bromine is very soluble in a wide variety of organic solvents, such as alcohol, ether, chloroform, and carbon disulfide.
		Bromine does not occur in nature as a free element, but is found in bromide compounds.

		Bromine is a moderately abundant element with an estimated abundance of about 1.6-2.4 parts per million in the Earth's crust.
		Bromine was discovered at almost the same time in 1826 by the German chemist Carl Löwig (1803-1890) and the French chemist Antoine-Jérôme Balard (1802-1876).
		Bromine and its compounds are becoming increasingly popular in the purification of public water supplies and swimming pools.

	Bromine
		Bromine is highly reactive: it reacts explosively with several metals, corrodes many organic substances and reacts as an oxidising agent.
		Bromine is mainly obtained from waste lyes in the potassium industry; seawater is a further source.
		Bromine is denser than water, but dissolves slightly in water and colours it brown.

	C&EN: IT'S ELEMENTAL: THE PERIODIC TABLE - BROMINE
		While scarlet was derived from an insect, both purple and blue were extracted from a snail, and the bromine atom plays a fascinating role in the creation of these colors.
		Thankfully, things changed and the fashion industry was born, all because a little snail in the Mediterranean had the ability to take bromine from the sea and bind it to indigo, forming dibromoindigo--Tyrian purple.
		Bromine was once used primarily in producing a leaded gasoline additive, ethylene dibromide, that prevents lead compounds from accumulating in engines, but the increased use of unleaded gas lowered demand for the additive.
