  2. Bromine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine

    Bromine is a chemical element; it has symbol Br and atomic number 35. ... It reacts violently with water and explodes on contact with flammable materials, ...

  3. Bromine compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine_compounds

    It may be formed by directly fluorinating bromine at room temperature and is purified through distillation. It reacts violently with water and explodes on contact with flammable materials, but is a less powerful fluorinating reagent than chlorine trifluoride.

  4. Brominated flame retardant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brominated_flame_retardant

    Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD or HBCDD) is a ring consisting of twelve carbon atoms with six bromine atoms tied to the ring. The commercially used HBCD is in fact a mixture of different isomers. HBCD is toxic to water-living organisms. The UNEP Stockholm Convention has listed HBCD for elimination, but allowing a temporary exemption for the use ...

    The halogens (/ ˈ h æ l ə dʒ ə n, ˈ h eɪ-,-l oʊ-,-ˌ dʒ ɛ n / [1] [2] [3]) are a group in the periodic table consisting of six chemically related elements: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and the radioactive elements astatine (At) and tennessine (Ts), though some authors [4] would exclude tennessine as its chemistry is unknown and is theoretically expected to ...

  6. Combustibility and flammability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustibility_and...

    The original mass of flammable material and the mass of the oxygen consumed (typically from the surrounding air) equals the mass of the flame products (ash, water, carbon dioxide, and other gases). Lavoisier used the experimental fact that some metals gained mass when they burned to support his ideas (because those chemical reactions capture ...

  7. List of refrigerants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refrigerants

    Capital letters "B" and "I" are suffixed, together with atom counts, if chlorine atoms have been replaced with bromine or iodine. If there are two carbons, the isomer without suffix is the most symmetrical; after this, lower-case suffixed letters "a", "b", ..., are added, moving forwards through the alphabet as symmetry decreases.

  8. List of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gases

    This list is sorted by boiling point of gases in ascending order, but can be sorted on different values. "sub" and "triple" refer to the sublimation point and the triple point, which are given in the case of a substance that sublimes at 1 atm; "dec" refers to decomposition. "~" means approximately.

  9. Noble gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_gas

    [40] [46] Compounds of xenon bound to boron, hydrogen, bromine, iodine, beryllium, sulphur, titanium, copper, and silver have also been observed but only at low temperatures in noble gas matrices, or in supersonic noble gas jets. [40] Radon is more reactive than xenon, and forms chemical bonds more easily than xenon does.
