To test for halide ions (Br, Cl, Fl, I) use a silver nitrate solution and then an ammonia solution. Silver nitrate solution will form a precipitate with Cl, Br, and I. Cl precipitate will be white, Br cream, and I yellow. Confirm with the ammonia solution that the AgCl dissolves into a colorless solution. AgBr will do the same but in concentrated ammonia solution. AgI is insoluble in ammonia.

Bromine is present as Br2 in the liquid and gas phases. This si a simple symmetric molecule Br-Br and has a dumbbell shape.

In the solid phase under normal pressures it is still present as Br2 molecules. It is reported that at extremely high pressures it becomes metallic which indicates that the molecular structure has changed to a Br lattice with delocalised electrons.

CBr4 will be tetrahedral because the C makes four bonds (each to Br) there are no additional unshared pairs around the C which means the only repulsion we have to worry about is the Br atoms repelling each other. Each Br is most separated if they can form bond angles of 109.5 and have a tetrahedral structure.

(tetrahedral is essential a pyramidal shape with one extra grouping on top)
