<div>'''Bromine''' is a chemical element with symbol Br and number 35. It is a red-brown, highly toxic liquid at room temperature, with a strong unpleasant odour. It readily gives off a brown gas and is irritant to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. Bromine can be found primarily as soluble bromides such as magnesium bromide in seawater<ref>[https://www.britannica.com/science/bromine]Christe, K., Schneider, S. (2025, April 9). bromine. Encyclopedia Britannica. <nowiki>https://www.britannica.com/science/bromine</nowiki></ref>.<br />
<br />
== Uses ==<br />
Bromine is used as a water sanitiser, can be used in the production of fire retardants and in the production of dyes<ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/bromine-properties-incident-management-and-toxicology/bromine-general-information <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>] UK Health Security Agency | Bromine: general information</ref>. It has been used as an additive to leaded gasoline to stop lead deposition.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
Bromine can be extracted from seawater by displacement by chlorine in the presence of sulphuric acid. It should be stored in well-sealed glass or lead-lined containers.<br />
