Description

Bromine is a dark reddish-brown fuming liquid with a pungent odor. Denser than water and soluble in water. Hence sinks in water. Toxic by inhalation. Accelerates the burning of combustible material. It is very corrosive to tissue and to metals.;GasVapor; Liquid;FUMING RED-TO-BROWN LIQUID WITH PUNGENT ODOUR.;Dark reddish-brown, fuming liquid with suffocating, irritating fumes.;Dark reddish-brown, fuming liquid with suffocating, irritating fumes.
