CrazCo Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I have to find interesting things about bromine, but I can't find anything that really captures my attention besides it's a liquid at room temperature. Do you know anything that you find interesting about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Bromine is also 100% clear as water when seen in near Infrared, I just discovered this a few seconds ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilded Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Breathing bromine can result in an excruciatingly painful death as it corrodes the inner surface of your lungs and fills them up with many sorts of interesting fluids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cuthber Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Like some unfortunate, ill-washed schoolboys, it is named after its unpleasant smell. Unlike the schoolboys, this isn't just a nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
