-Bromine is extracted from salt beds from evaporation
Dmitri Mendeleev - Russian chemist who developed a periodic table of the chemical elements and
predicted the discovery of several new elements (1834-1907)

Periodic table columns... - also called groups or families, have similar chemical behavior
Top right of periodic table - Nonmetals
Middle/left side of periodic table - Metals (except hydrogen)
-High conductivities for heat and electricity
Congener - something of the same kind or nature (elemental groups)
