Bromine was first identified as a chemical element in 1826 by French chemist Antoine Balard. He isolated it from chlorine and found that, in its elemental form, bromine is a highly volatile, ...

A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...
