Etymology

The word 'bromine' comes from the Greek word 'bromos,' meaning 'bad smell.' This name was chosen due to bromine's distinctive and unpleasant odor. It was discovered in 1826 by the French chemist Antoine Jรฉrรดme Balard, who isolated it from saltwater. The use of bromine and its compounds has expanded significantly since its discovery, finding applications in various fields such as agriculture, medicine, and industrial processes.
