Nonmetallic elements burning

Bromine is a very reactive nonmetallic element, located between chlorine and iodine in the periodic table. Bromine gas fumes are very irritating and toxic and will cause severe burns if spdled on the skin. 

We can probably assume that tbe parent who wrote this note meant the child was taken to the doctor for an injection, but who knows Like everyone else, chemists need to be careful about how they use language, and the names and formulas for chemical compounds form the core of the language of chemistry. The purpose of this section is to describe the guidelines for constructing the names for binary covalent compounds, which are pure substances that consist of two nonmetallic elements. The water, H2O, you boil to cook your eggs and the methane, CH4, in natural gas that can he burned to heat the water are examples of binary covalent compounds. 

Sulfur (S) is a nonmetallic element that is present in coal. When coal is burned, sulfur is converted to sulfur dioxide and eventually to sulfuric acid that gives rise to the acid rain phenomenon. How many atoms are in 16.3 g of S ... 

Whereas acid-base reactions can be characterized as proton-transfer processes, the class of reactions called oxidation-reduction, or redox, reactions are considered electron-transfer reactions. Oxidation-reduction reactions are very much a part of the world around us. They range from the burning of fossil fuels to the action of household bleach. Additionally, most metallic and nonmetallic elements are obtained from their ores by the process of oxidation or reduction.
