Bromine is an element. It is in the halogen column of elements on the periodic table. Elemental bromine gas is di-atomic, meaning it consists of 2 bromine atoms bonded to one another with a covalent bond. Bromine is a very reactive element, so it is found in many different compounds. When in those compounds, you can talk about the chemical CONTAINING bromine, but you can't accurately refer to it as BEING bromine, as pure bromine has completely different properties.

Just to clarify since you seem to be having trouble with this element, compound, mixture material Bromine will react with the element Hydrogen to make the compound Bromic Acid. But the person above is correct, it's just an element

Bromine is an element, not a compound or a mixture. It occurs as molecules of two atoms each, Br2. It forms compounds like potassium bromide, KBr.

Bromine is simply an element
It can become a compound when reacted with other elements such as Bromic Acid

Bromine is this stuff I used on potable water tanks to make it consumable. I got some of this stuff on my skin and it burned.
