Question

Which one mentioned below is not a property of bromine extracted from sea?

(a) Dark red

(b) Low-boiling

(c) High density

(d) Low density

This question was addressed to me during a job interview.

My enquiry is from Chemical From Sea topic in section Inorganic Chemical Industries of Chemical Technology

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) Low density

Best explanation: Bromine, a dark red, low boiling and high density liquid of intensely irritating odour, is very reactive chemically, and belongs to the halogen group of elements. Thus, low density is not physical property of bromine.
