Abstract
SummaryA survey is given of recent work on the action of light on bromine vapour, both dry and in presence of air and moisture.Suggested explanations of the facts are discussed. It is concluded that the influence of water is due to a “poisoning” of the walls of the vessel, which prevents them from catalysing the recombination of bromine atoms.
