Guy Pours Liquid Bromine on an iPhone 6

There are some elements that are safer than others.  Bromine is kinda on more dangerous side.  Here is a brief background on this unusual element from wikipedia:

Bromine is rarer than about three-quarters of elements in the Earth‘s crust. The high solubility of bromideions has caused its accumulation in the oceans, and commercially the element is easily extracted from brine pools, mostly in the United States, Israel and China. About 556,000 tonnes were produced in 2007, an amount similar to the far more abundant element magnesium.

At high temperatures, organobromine compounds readily convert to free bromine atoms, a process which has the effect of stopping free radical chemicalchain reactions. This effect makes organobromine compounds useful as fire retardants; more than half the bromine produced industrially worldwide each year is put to this use. U

Ok are you ready to check out this unusual experiment?  We hope you enjoy the video and feel free to comment on this crazy experiment!
