Here's why:
* Room Temperature: Bromine has a melting point of -7.2 °C (19.0 °F) and a boiling point of 58.8 °C (137.8 °F). This means that at normal room temperatures (around 20-25 °C or 68-77 °F), bromine exists as a dark reddish-brown liquid.
* Gas Temperature: When heated above its boiling point, bromine transitions into a reddish-brown gas.
