Bromine is one of the few elements that is a liquid at room temperature. It is an acrid-smelling substance that reacts readily with most metals. It evaporates easily, so most containers of bromine are filled with visible amounts of red fumes. Most bromine is obtained from sodium bromide, a compound found in salt beds.arrow_forwardClassify the substances represented by the models in problem 1-57 as to the type of pure substance, that is, as element or compound.arrow_forward

Iron is rarely found as the free element in nature. Mostly it is found combined with oxygen in an ore. The metal itself can be obtained by reacting the ore with carbon, producing iron and carbon dioxide. Iron is a silver colored metal that conducts heat and electricity well. It is one of the most structurally important metals because of its hardness and mechanical strength, and it makes alloys with many other metals. Stainless steel is one useful alloy of iron that does not corrode in the presence of water and I oxygen, like pure iron does.arrow_forward
