View source for Oxides of bromine

The '''oxides of bromine''' are far less stable than their [[Oxides of chlorine|chlorine]] or [[Oxides of iodine|iodine]] analogues. Of the seventeen binary species that have been described, none is stable at room temperature and pressure: the reality of many of these species is dubious.<ref name="JANAF">{{citation | first = Malcolm W. | last = Chase | title = NIST–JANAF Thermochemical Tables for the Bromine Oxides | journal = J.
