Absolutely NOT ! And I say that as one who absorbed a snootful of bromine in high school
chemistry 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 a
gas. (In fact,bromine is one of only two elements on the Periodic Table that are known to be
liquids 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 smell
of chlorine but to me is even more disagreeable.
