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
What else can I help you with?
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 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).
Are halogens the basis for all fossil fuels?
No, halogens are not the basis for all fossil fuels. Fossil fuels primarily consist of hydrocarbons, which are compounds made of hydrogen and carbon. Halogens, such as chlorine, fluorine, bromine, and iodine, do not play a significant role in the formation of fossil fuels.
Why are the halogens not found naturally in the earth's crust as the pure elements?
The halogens are not found naturally in the earth's crust as pure elements because of their extreme reactivity. Because the halogens are close to having completely filled electron shells, they will often react with other substances in order to gain an electron. As an especially noteworthy case, fluorine is the most reactive of the halogens (and elements in general), and will even react with glass. Therefore, the halogens are found naturally as compounds, not pure elements.
Does halogens have high or low reactivity?
Halogens have high reactivity because they have a strong tendency to gain an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This reactivity decreases as you move down the group from fluorine to iodine.
Why is halogen elements so dangerous in their uncombined forms?
Yes they are - they are all toxic and corrosive.
Elements in Group 17 are all called?
Halogens Apex ;)
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 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 halogens atomic number?

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.
Are halogens reactive?
Yes, halogens are extremely reactive.
How are halogens like metals?
Halogens are not like metals. Halogens are elements missing one electron for full valency.
Which non-metals are chemically most reactive?
halogens
