Bromine ( or ; from, meaning " stench ( of he-goats )") is a chemical element with the symbol Br, and atomic number of 35.

Bromine has no essential function in mammals, though it is preferentially used over chloride by one antiparasitic enzyme in the human immune system.

Bromine is slightly soluble in water, but it is highly soluble in organic solvents such as carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride, aliphatic alcohols, and acetic acid.

Columbia County, along with Union County, is home to the largest Bromine reserve in the United States.

* Bromine monochloride ( BrCl ) is a red-brown gas with a boiling point of 5 ° C.

* Bromine trifluoride ( BrF < sub > 3 </ sub >) is a yellow-green liquid which conducts electricity — it ionises to form +.

* Bromine pentafluoride ( BrF < sub > 5 </ sub >) is a colourless fuming liquid, made by reacting bromine trifluoride with fluorine at 200 ° C.

Bromine is trapped with iron turnings to give a solution of ferric bromide.

Bromine is included as an ozone-depleting chemical because although it is not as abundant as chlorine, it is 45 times more effective per atom in destroying stratospheric ozone.

Bromine ( Br ) has two stable isotopes and 30 known unstable isotopes, the most stable of which is < sup > 77 </ sup > Br with a half-life of 57. 036 hours

Bromine is derived from brine, or saltwater, and local companies play an international role in the commercialization of bromine and its many applications.

Bromine has two stable isotopes, < sup > 79 </ sup > Br ( 50. 69 %) and < sup > 81 </ sup > Br ( 49. 31 %).

Bromine has no known essential role in human or mammalian health, but inorganic bromine and organobromine compounds do occur naturally, and some may be of use to higher organisms in dealing with parasites.

* Bromine monofluoride ( BrF ) has not been obtained as a pure compound — it dissociates into the trifluoride and free bromine.

Bromine was discovered independently by two chemists, Carl Jacob Löwig and Antoine Balard, in 1825 and 1826, respectively.

Bromine was not produced in large quantities until 1860.

Bromine atoms are even more efficient catalysts, hence brominated CFCs are also regulated.

In the early 19th century Ignacy Fonberger, a professor at the University of Vilnius, analyzed the chemical composition of Druskininkai's waters and showed that they contain large amounts of Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Iodine, Bromine, Iron and Magnesium.

Even rarer are cases where self-amputation is performed for criminal or political purposes:

Amok, the rarer form, is believed to stem from rage, insult, or a vendetta against a person or society for a wide variety of reasons.

This is mainly due to the limited extent of burrowing activity ; as such bioturbation became more prevalent throughout the Cambrian, environments capable of preserving organisms ' soft parts became much rarer.

If a second compression test is performed shortly thereafter, and the new reading is much higher, it would be the ring seal that is problematic, whereas if the compression test pressure observed remains low, it is a valve sealing ( or more rarely head gasket, or breakthrough piston or rarer still cylinder wall damage ) issue.

A rarer instrument of the modern pitching system is the treble G flute.

Some examples of possible resolutions are that intelligent life is rarer than we think, or that our assumptions about the general behavior of intelligent species are flawed.

This inherent ability of hydrocarbons to bond to themselves is referred to as catenation, and allows hydrocarbon to form more complex molecules, such as cyclohexane, and in rarer cases, arenes such as benzene.

In protocolary terms, states are distinguished as monarchy or republic depending on the style ( and usually mode of accession, see below ) of their head of state, a typical constitutional provision, but as such this is not defining for the actual political system, which often evolves significantly, or can remain unaltered in other respects despite a transition from monarchy to republic ( or, rarer, vice versa ).

Although most congregations hire one or more Rabbis, the use of a professional hazzan is generally declining in American congregations, and the use of professionals for other offices is rarer still.

Although neodymium is classed as a " rare earth ", it is no rarer than cobalt, nickel, and copper ore, and is widely distributed in the Earth's crust.

It may also be by the use of a sensual vibrator or an erotic electrostimulation, and can additionally be achieved by stimulation of the nipples, uterus, or other erogenous zones, though this is rarer.

In any of these cases, a flush should rank above a full house ( in a 24-card deck it is actually rarer than four of a kind, but is rarely played that flushes are superior to four of a kind ).

" Pot-limit and no-limit Omaha eight-or-better can be found in some casinos and online, though no-limit is rarer.

A rarer form of hyperphenylalaninemia occurs when PAH is normal, but there is a defect in the biosynthesis or recycling of the cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin ( BH < sub > 4 </ sub >) by the patient.

Studies of this kind outside of Europe are even rarer, so it is difficult to make generalizations, but one small-scale study that compared transnational police information and intelligence sharing practices at specific cross-border locations in North America and Europe confirmed that low visibility of police information and intelligence sharing was a common feature ( Alain, 2001 ).

Bryn Mawr Drive is only two or three miles from the Spartan, and it took me less than five minutes to get there.

It took thirty of our women almost six moons to build this one, which is higher and stronger than the old one.

There was a measure of protection in its concrete walls and ceiling, but the engineers who hastily installed it were well aware that concrete is not much better than prayer, if as efficacious, when a direct hit comes along.

The sambur buck, the jungle stag that is even more noble than the Scottish elk.

It is these other differences between North and South -- other, that is, than those which concern discrimination or social welfare -- which I chiefly discuss herein.

And there is no section of the nation more ardent than the South in the cold war against Communism.

The content is not the same, however: rather than individual security, it is the security and continuing existence of an `` ideological group '' -- those in the `` free world '' -- that is basic.

But it is more than that.

While the pattern is uneven, some having gained more than others, nationalism has in fact served the Western peoples well.

But it is more than irony: one of the main reasons why nationalism is no longer a tenable concept is because it has spread throughout the planet.

In spots such as the elbows and knees the second skin is worn off and I realized the aborigines were much darker than they appeared ; ;

Isfahan became more of a legend than a place, and now it is for many people simply a name to which they attach their notions of old Persia and sometimes of the East.

Poetry in Persian life is far more than a common ground on which -- in a society deeply fissured by antagonisms -- all may stand.

Poetry for a Persian is nothing less than truth and beauty.

Since attack serves to stimulate interest in broadcasts, I added to my opening statement a sentence in which I claimed that German youth seemed to lack the enthusiasm which is a necessary ingredient of anger, and might be classified as uninterested and bored rather than angry.

But in this approach it is the artist's ultimate insight, rather than his immediate impressions, that gives form to the work.
