-
A simple body, of a very volatile nature, and highly offensive and suffocating odour, whence its name, from, 'a stench.' It is met with chiefly in sea-water, and in many animal and vegetable bodies that live therein. It has likewise been found in many mineral waters of this and other countries. In its chemical relations, it may be placed between chlorine and iodine. With oxygen it forms an acid-the Bromic, and with hydrogen another-the Hydrobromic.
