Bromine has 58.78 of boiling point and -7.2 of melting point and it is red colored liquid.

Bromine is a non-metal and remains liquid at room temperature.

Its atomic no is 35 and atomic weight is 79.904

Bromine is a liquid because the intermolecular forces are strong enough so that it does not vaporise. Br forms diatomic molecules and van der Waals interactions are sufficiently strong.

The chemical element with the atomic number 35, Bromine is a non metal that remains liquid at room temperature. Mercury also remains liquid at room temperature but it is a metal. Bromine is the third lightest halogen.

It will be bromine (br) and if it was metal it would be mercury (Hg) hydragyrum.
