Bromine is a halogen and a non-metallic chemical element. It is highly toxic and extremely reactive. It requires precautions and proper handling. At room temperature, bromine is a reddish-brown thick liquid. Elemental bromine is extracted from salt lakes, seawater, and underground brine wells. Bromine is used in many inorganic and organic compounds. It cannot be substituted by other materials, without the properties of the compound changed. However, few organic bromine compounds can be substituted by few products with completely different chemistries.
