Bromuro

Bromuro refers to a chemical compound containing bromine. These compounds can take many forms, including inorganic salts and organic molecules. Inorganic bromides, such as sodium bromide (NaBr) and potassium bromide (KBr), are ionic compounds. Historically, potassium bromide was used as a sedative and anticonvulsant in both human and veterinary medicine, though its use has largely been superseded by newer drugs due to side effects. Organic bromides, where bromine is bonded to a carbon atom, are a diverse class of compounds with various applications. Some organic bromides have been used as fumigants, flame retardants, and in the synthesis of other chemicals. Certain organobromine compounds can persist in the environment and have raised concerns regarding their toxicity and potential for bioaccumulation. The properties and uses of bromuro compounds vary greatly depending on the specific chemical structure.
