How is bromine bad for humans?
bromine is a halogen (an element that can be very reactive and acidic). similar to inhaling chlorine and fluorine which is even more toxic. this is because bromine has 7 electrons in outermost orbit and capable of stealing 1 electrons from another molecule/atoms/element to achieve a stable octet structure. this makes bromine negatively charge which can cause damage in your body. Bromine does have it's human uses, though. Bromine compounds are used in some medications, and if you've ever swum in a large heated pool, odds are the disinfectant in the water was bromine just as likely as chlorine.
How do you reduce bromine?
Bromine can be reduced quite easily by use of all element that react with it, except Oxygen, Fluorine, Chlorine and some other strong Oxidizers
What are some uses for the halogen family?
Chlorine and Bromine are used are Purifying agents in Pools/Spas. Fluorine in compounds (Fluoride) is used in Dentistry. Iodine is used as an antiseptic, and has dietary benefits for the Thyroid. Astatine is radioactive and has uses in Nuclear Medicine.
Why can iodine can be substituted for bromine in some compounds?
Because they share similar quality, properties, and have the same amount of valence electrons.
What is the only gas in the fluorine family?
There are two gases in fluorine(Halogen) family, which are Fluorine and Chlorine. In some cases bromine can also be included as a gas.
What are compounds of bromine?
Bromides, Hypobromites, Bromites, Bromates, Perbromates, Bromine halides and some Bromine oxides
What is chemical dehalogenation?
some chemical compounds contain halogens. The halogens are a group of elements- bromine/chlorine/iodine/fluorine. dehalogentation is the removal of these molecules from the compound
What is the valency of bromine?
Bromine typically has a valence of 1, but it may have a valence 3, 5, or 7 in some compounds.

Is clorine halogen?
Yes, Halogens are the name of a group of non-metal elements found on the Periodic Table, Group 7A (or 17). Halogens include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.
Do all pools have to have chlorine?
no some use bromine, and others filter the water through an activated charcoal filter, and even now some use a high-grade salt and low-grade chlorine-bromine mix as a filter.
What is the halide family?
1. If you think to halogens: fluorine, chlorine, iodine, bromine, astatine, ununseptium 2. If you think to chemical compounds: halides or halogenides are the binary compounds with metals of the above mentioned elements (but also exist organic halides, etc.). Some halides exist as natural minerals.
Why the colour of bromine fades when carrying unsaturation test?
Some of the bromine is consumed by forming dibromides from the unsaturated compounds tested. The dibromides do not usually have color, as bromine molecules do.
What are bromine chlorine and salt water pool cleaners?
Bromine is an additive that you put in a pool to sanitize the water. Chlorine is an additive that you put in a pool to sanitize the water. Salt is added to some pools to allow it to be converted electronically to chlorine with a salt water chlorinator.
What are the effects fluorocarbons have on the ozone layer?
Not all fluorocarbons contain the halogens chlorine or bromine. Only those compounds that contain chlorine or bromine can have adverse effects on ozone.Fluorocarbons are sometimes present in the ozone layer as both chloro- and bromo- fluoridated species. Of the three halogen species present (fluorine, chlorine, and bromine) only the chlorine and bromine participate in the breakdown of ozone. Due to its stability in compounds, fluorine has no known adverse impact on ozone. Bromine is from 10 to 100 times more impactful than chlorine.The process of ozone degradation is the release of chlorine or bromine from the source molecule by the action of sunlight. These free radicals convert ozone to oxygen and atomic oxygen. The atomic oxygen can free more chlorine or bromine. Because the CFC's are just a catalyst in the reaction, they can continue to deplete the ozone layer for some time.
Does deforestation cause a thinning of the ozone layer?
It will, as oxygen levels are depressed. Also if those forests are burned in whole or part, compoudns that contain chlorine and bromine are released to the atmosphere, and some of those compounds are known to be ozone depleters.
How do you reduce bromine?
Bromine can be reduced quite easily by use of all element that react with it, except Oxygen, Fluorine, Chlorine and some other strong Oxidizers
