Hello!


Bromine can be classified as a pure substance.


Why?


Bromine is an element with atomic number 35 on group 17 of the Periodic Table. That's the first sign that shows us that it is a pure substance.


But the fact that it has a clear and defined boiling and melting point is a sign that we are in the presence of a pure substance. Pure substances are characterized by defined boiling and melting points.


Mixtures usually have a range of temperatures in which they melt and boil.


Have a nice day!
