Bromine is a/an

  • A.non-metal
  • B.metal
  • C.solid metal
  • D.alloy

Answer: A

Bromine is a non-metal.

Bromine (Br) is a halogen in group 17 of the periodic table, along with fluorine, chlorine and iodine, all of which are non-metals. It is the only non-metallic element that is a liquid at room temperature: a dark red, volatile, corrosive liquid. The only metal that is liquid at room temperature is mercury, which is the source of the confusion.

Bromine is therefore neither a metal nor a solid metal, and as a pure element it is not an alloy, which is a mixture of metals.
