Why it is 58.78 -7.2 melting point?
Vinayagam said:

Bromin is redcoloured liquid.
Revathi Krishna said:
(May 14, 2011)
With an increase in the atomic number the vander waals forces of attractions between the molecules increase so the physical state changes. Therefore, Bromine is liquid at room temparature.
B. Sai Sarvani said:
(May 14, 2011)
Due to increase of vander waals forces, accordingly high melting point.

Because it is its physical property.
K.Manzoor said:

Vandrwall s forces is not responsible for remaining liquid in room temperature
generally bromine has the specific property which it itself remains constant without change of any thing where as the other ones changes gradually due to raise in room temperature.

Bromine is the only liquid non metal at room temperature while in case of metals it is mercury and of couse you all are also right. Manzoor explained it right and also revathi.

It is one of only 2 elements in periodic table that are liquids at room temperature (mercury is the other, although caesium, gallium, and rubidium melt just above room temperature).
Rutul said:
(Apr 4, 2012)
The molecules of a liquid are held together by a collection of forces, see reference. Physical chemistry is the field which would let you calculate how strong those forces are for a particular molecule, and therefore how much kinetic energy each molecule must have to break those bonds and move more freely as a gas. For bromine, at 1 atmosphere pressure, that happens to be 332K, well above room temperature.

At ambient temperature bromine is a brownish-red liquid. It has a similarly colored vapor with an offensive and suffocating odor. It is the only nonmetallic element that is liquid under ordinary conditions, it evaporates easily at standard temperature and pressures in a red vapor that has a strong disagreeable odor resembling that of chlorine. Bromine is less active chemically than chlorine and fluorine but is more active than iodine; its compounds are similar to those of the other halogens. Bromine is soluble in organic solvents and in water.

Phosphorous is solid at room temperature.
Chlorine can either be gas or solid (chlorine tablets used for purifying water) and helium has gaseous nature in room temperature.
Bromine only is found in liquid form at room temp having brownish color.

To exist a molecule together (group of atoms) there is some forces are working that force may be strong electrostatic force or force due to electron transformation or week van der waal forces.

Bromine is a liquid non-metal which stays liquid in room temperature.

Mercury is liquid metal, where as bromine is a liquid in non-metals because of it's melting point and boiling point in the room temperature.

Arvind said:

Bromine has a high melting point Yes so it melts very easily due to which it remains liquid at room temperature. The element was isolated independently by two chemists, Carl Jacob Lowig and Antoine Jerome Balard, in 1825"1826.
Elemental bromine is a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature, corrosive and toxic, with properties between those of chlorine and iodine. Free bromine does not occur in nature, but occurs as colorless soluble crystalline mineral halite salts, analogous to table salt. @Sanjay, this is your answer learn carefully. So, that's it for bromine explanation.

Yahya said:

Bromine is a liquid because the intermolecular forces are strong enough. So, that it does no vapourised.
Br forms diatomic molecules and van der Waals interaction are sufficiently strong, and it belongs to the halogen group.

Ajay Sutar said:

The uses of bromine is :
Bromine compounds are used as pesticides, dyestuffs, water purification compounds, and as flame-retardants in plastics. 1, 2-dibromoethane is used as an anti-knock agent to raise the octane number of gasoline and allow engines to run more smoothly.
Ajay Sutar said:
(Jul 26, 2016)
Why is bromine having higher boiling point than fluorine?
Because.
The reason for this is that the physical attractive energy between bromine molecules is greater than that between fluorine molecules. The attraction between the molecules has to be overcome when boiling takes place. The type of attraction, in this case, is the Van der Waals attraction, being higher for bromine molecules because bromine molecules are much bigger, therefore having stronger transient dipoles (fluctuating dipoles due to the mobility of the electron density around the molecules).

Yes it's bromine. The reason why is mercury is used in the barometer is b because it has a high coefficient of expansion. So a slite rise in pressure or temperature can be known.
