Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the halogen family elements: Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br), Iodine (I), and Astatine (At).
Recall the physical states of these halogens at room temperature (approximately 25°C): Fluorine and Chlorine are gases, Iodine and Astatine are solids.
Identify which halogen is a liquid at room temperature by considering their melting and boiling points.
Recognize that Bromine (Br) has a melting point below room temperature and a boiling point above it, making it the only halogen liquid at room temperature.
Conclude that Bromine (Br) is the halogen that exists as a liquid at room temperature.
