Etymology

The word 'bromine' is derived from the Greek word 'bromos', which means 'stench' or 'bad smell'. This name was chosen due to the strong, unpleasant odor of bromine gas. The element was discovered in 1826 by the French chemist Antoine Jรฉrรดme Balard. He isolated it from the ashes of seaweed and noticed its distinct smell. The initial extraction and identification of bromine marked an important advancement in the study of halogens, a group of elements known for their high reactivity. Since its discovery, bromine has been utilized in various industries ranging from agriculture to electronics. Its diverse applications demonstrate the significance of this chemical element in both commercial and scientific fields.
