Bromelain is a mixture of enzymes found naturally in the juice and stems of pineapples. Called a proteolytic enzyme, bromelain is believed to help with the digestion of protein.
Bromine is a chemical element with the symbol Br, and atomic number of 35. It is in the halogen group (17). The element was isolated independently by two chemists, Carl Jacob Löwig and Antoine Jerome Balard, in 1825-1826. Bromine is rarer than about three-quarters of elements in the Earth's crust; however, the high solubility of bromide ion has caused its accumulation in the oceans, and commercially the element is easily extracted from brine pools. Elemental bromine is a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature, corrosive and toxic. Used for in industry to make organobromo compounds. A major one was dibromoethane an agent for leaded gasoline, before they were largely phased out due to environmental considerations. Other organobromines are used as insecticides, in fire extinguishers and to make pharmaceuticals. Bromine is used in making fumigants, dyes, flameproofing agents, water purification compounds, sanitizes, medicinals, agents for Photography and in brominates vegetable oil, used as emulsifier in many citrus-flavoured solft drinks and bread to help the yeast rise. Completely idiotic laws in most nations require bread companies to add bromine to bread instead of iodine. It helps the yeast rise or has other effects. Bromine is highly toxic for human beings.
Despite being toxic to humans in pure form, recent research has shown that bromine is an essential trace element for animals to allow formation of the collagen scaffolding of basement membranes and other tissue development.

No, they are not.
Fluorine because it is in the same group (group 17) as Bromine therefore it has the same chemical properties
No, bromine is not the same as baquacil. Bromine is a chlorine alternative, probably more expensive, effective as a sanitizer. Can result in odors as with chlorine and there are arguements about its safety, health wise. No, Baquacil is Hydrogen Peroxide.
Oxygen will diffuse faster as oxygen is a gas and bromine is a liquid
Yes. Halogen Family includes chlorine, bromine, fluorine, iodine.
As polyehtene is unsaturated(single bond) it does not react with bromine and there is no colour change.But bromine reacts with ethene and it becomes colourless.
It's BROMINE. That is the element that is a liquid in the same period as Fe.
Mango contains something similar to papain and bromelain.
Bromelain is from pineapples. Papain (?) is from papayas.
the stem of the pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain.
Br (Bromine) is a period 4 element in the same group as F.
no the do not bromine has 4 and oxygen has 2
The word bromelain refers to a type of enzyme. This enzyme is obtained from pineapples. The word bromelain is derived from the word bromeliad, the Latin word for the pineapple genus.
Bromine vapor is chemically the same as bromine its just physically different so the symbol is still Br. :-)
Bromelain is extracted from the pineapple stem, the main fruit contains very little bromelain. Also Bromelain is heat labile (destroyed by heat). As the canning process involves heating the canned produce at very high temperatures for a few seconds the small amount of bromelain that may be present would be destroyed.
Fluorine because it is in the same group (group 17) as Bromine therefore it has the same chemical properties
The noble gas krypton has the same electron configuration as an ion of bromine, Br-.
