(n.) One of the elements, related in its chemical qualities to chlorine and iodine. Atomic weight 79.8. Symbol Br. It is a deep reddish brown liquid of a very disagreeable odor, emitting a brownish vapor at the ordinary temperature. In combination it is found in minute quantities in sea water, and in many saline springs. It occurs also in the mineral bromyrite.

Perbromate
Definition:
(n.) A salt of perbromic acid.
Example Sentences:
(1) The perbromate ion, but neither of the sodium coordination polyhedra, shows rigid-body behavior.
