Chemical compound
Bromine monoxide is a binary
inorganic compound of
bromine and
oxygen with the chemical formula BrO.
[1]
[2] A
free radical , this compound is the simplest of many
bromine oxides . The compound is capable of influencing atmospheric chemical processes.
[3] Naturally, BrO can be found in volcanic plumes.
[4]
[5] BrO is similar to the
oxygen monofluoride ,
chlorine monoxide and
iodine monoxide radicals.
Chemical properties
The compound is very effective as a catalyst of the ozone destruction. The chemical reaction of BrO and
chlorine dioxide (OClO) results in
ozone depletion in the stratosphere.
