Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bromine is a halogen gas (Br2) at room temperature and pressure, that forms a covalent molecular solid at lower temperature resembling a crystal lattice. When liquid bromine is cooled, its constituent molecules come closer together and start forming a solid lattice held together by molecular attractions such as van der Waals forces. Therefore, the solid form of bromine is a molecular solid.
