**Bromine**
Bromine is a chemical element with the symbol Br and the atomic number of 35. It is in the halogen group of elements. The element was first isolated independently in 1825-1826 by two chemists, Carl Jacob Löwig and Antoine Jerome Balard. Elemental Bromine appears as a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature, both corrosive and toxic. It has properties similar to chlorine and iodine. Free bromine does not occur in nature, but occurs as colorless soluble crystalline mineral halide salts.
