Pungent , corrosive and toxic , like bleach. Exercise great care
Bromine was discovered independently by two people, Carl Löwig and Antoine Balard. Löwig extracted the element from mineral water, Balard from seaweed ash. For more detail, I invite you to see the bromine page on wikipedia.
Absolutely NOT ! And I say that as one who absorbed a snootful of bromine in high schoolchemistry lab almost 60 years ago and has never forgotten the experience.First of all, although bromine does evaporate easily, it's a liquid at room temperature, not agas. (In fact,bromine is one of only two elements on the periodic table that are known to beliquids at room temperature. The other one is mercury.)When bromine does vaporize, it's orange, not colorless.And it's not odorless. It has a strongly disagreeable odor, which is said to resemble the smellof chlorine but to me is even more disagreeable.
Probably because it was first recognized in fluorspar or fluorite (which is calcium fluoride).
Bromine is a halogen element, therefore it's nonmetallic.
Bromine is a liquid at Room, but it give out some bromine vapor
Yes it does have. Its odor is quite similar to Chlorine (chocking odor)
Bromine's name comes from the Greek bromos, meaning "stench." I personally wouldn't use that word to describe the odor, but it is powerful.

Liquid bromine is the Real Bromine, while Bromine water is a mixture of Bromine and Water

Bromine Pentachloride is the name of BrCI5.
Bromine is bromine no matter how toxic
Liquid = Bromine Solid = Solid Bromine Gas = Bromine vapor
Yes, a Bromine atom can bond to another similar Bromine atom, to make a Bromine molecule: Br2
Bromine is a halogen element, therefore it's nonmetallic.
