  2. Bromine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine

    Bromine is used in cooling towers (in place of chlorine) for controlling bacteria, algae, fungi, and zebra mussels. [72] Because it has similar antiseptic qualities to chlorine, bromine can be used in the same manner as chlorine as a disinfectant or antimicrobial in applications such as swimming pools.

    Industrially, it is mainly produced by the reaction of hydrogen gas with bromine gas at 200–400 °C with a platinum catalyst. However, reduction of bromine with red phosphorus is a more practical way to produce hydrogen bromide in the laboratory: [2] 2 P + 6 H 2 O + 3 Br 2 → 6 HBr + 2 H 3 PO 3 H 3 PO 3 + H 2 O + Br 2 → 2 HBr + H 3 PO 4

    Radii in picometers of common halogen atoms (gray/black) and the corresponding halide anions (blue) In chemistry, a halide (rarely halogenide [1]) is a binary chemical compound, of which one part is a halogen atom and the other part is an element or radical that is less electronegative (or more electropositive) than the halogen, to make a fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, astatide, or ...

  9. Bromine nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine_nitrate

    Bromine mononitrate is an inorganic compound, derived from bromine and nitric acid with the chemical formula BrNO 3. The compound is a yellow liquid, decomposes at temperatures above 0 °C. [1] This compounds is extremely reactive due to its intrinsic instability, which makes handling and synthesis challenging.
