Yes. It is very dangerous. Even a small amount of Bromine vapor can horribly damage your lungs, and the actual liquid Br2 WILL burn your skin and can leave permanent damage. If it were somehow swallowed, it would destroy your stomach acids and eat through your "innards," thus, killing you.
Bromine can be fun in experiments, but you must wear a fume mask and proper safety equipment.
However, bromine can eat through plastic or glass, even rubber. And Bromine must be kept away from many materials, such as Aluminum and Hydrogen, to make sure there are no dangerous reactions or explosions.
Hope this helps

∙ 13y agono they are not toxic we use them in most everyday activities like Swimming Pools or food coloring. so no they are not toxic

What do fluorine and chlorine have in common?
Both are halogens with 7 valence electrons. They are both very reactive, highly toxic, diatomic gasses.
What is halogens atomic number?
The halogens are located on the left of the noble gases on the periodic table. These five toxic, non-metallic elements make up Group 17 of the periodic table and consist of: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At).
What are the safety precautions you need to take when handleing halogens?
When handling any if the halogens there are a few precautions which you should take. These are wearing eye protection, so that the halogens do not damage your eyes, using chlorine and bromine in fume cupboards only, because they are toxic gases, wearing chemical resistant gloves when handling liquid bromine, as it is corrosive. It is very hard to study Flourine simply because it is very dangerous. Hope that helps! from a 13yr old
What is unique about halogens?
Halogens are unique because they are very reactive non-metals. "Halogens" is a Greek word meaning salt producers.
Are halogens the basis for all fossil fuels?
No. The halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
Why is halogen elements so dangerous in their uncombined forms?
Yes they are - they are all toxic and corrosive.
Is silicone toxic to humans?
Natural silicon & its compounds are non-toxic (e.g., drinking water contain silicic acid which is also safe) but silicon halogens are corrosive and extremely toxic; silicon breast implants may cause even cancer.
What do fluorine and chlorine have in common?
Both are halogens with 7 valence electrons. They are both very reactive, highly toxic, diatomic gasses.
How do psychical and chemical properties of halogens compare with those of the inert gas?
At room temperature the lighter halogens, F, Cl are diatomic gases, Br is a liquid, I is a solid. All of the halogens are colored and toxic. The noble gases are all colorless odorless non chemically toxic monoatomic gases. (Radon is radioactive).
What is halogens atomic number?
The halogens are located on the left of the noble gases on the periodic table. These five toxic, non-metallic elements make up Group 17 of the periodic table and consist of: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At).
The most reactive group of nonmetals is the?
Group 17 (known as Halogens)
Elements in Group 17 are all called?
Halogens Apex ;)
What is a bad chemical?
It depends on what is meant by bad. If, Toxic, corrosive or flammble are meant, there are literally thousands. All cyanides are bad and will kill a human in afew minutes. Phenol and the halogens are all toxic and Fluorine and bromine will do very bad damge to the skin. There are many more.
What are halogens and where are they located?
Halogens are in Group 7
What is the halogen in period 5 of the periodic table?
Iodine. If you mean the group of halogens, here's what Wikipedia writes about it: The halogens or halogen elements (/ˈhælədʒɨn/) are a group in the periodic table consisting of five chemically related elements, fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). The artificially created element 117 (ununseptium) may also be a halogen. In the modern IUPAC nomenclature, this group is known as group 17. The group of halogens is the only periodic table group that contains elements in all three familiar states of matter at standard temperature and pressure. All of the halogens form acids when bonded to hydrogen. Most halogens are typically produced from minerals of salts. The middle halogens, that is, chlorine, bromine and iodine, are often used as disinfectants. The halogens are also all toxic.
Why are halogens known as salts?
Halogens are not salts but they are chemical elements; halogens can form salts reacting with metals.
Halogens are radioactive or not?
No, halogens are reactive however and can be dangerous.
