1. Bromide

   A bromide ion is the negatively charged form (Br−) of the element bromine, a member of the halogens group on the periodic table. Most bromides are colorless. Bromides have many practical roles- anticonvulsant, plasma etching, solvent- grignard reagent, crystal formation, etc. Although uncommon, chronic toxicity from bromide can result in bromism, a syndrome with multiple neurological symptoms. Bromide toxicity can also cause a type of skin eruption. See potassium bromide. The bromide ion has an ionic radius of 196 pm.
