1,1,1,2,2-Pentabromoethane

Description:
1,1,1,2,2-Pentabromoethane is a halogenated organic compound characterized by the presence of five bromine atoms attached to a two-carbon ethane backbone. Its molecular formula is C2H2Br5, indicating a high degree of bromination, which significantly influences its physical and chemical properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its high density and low volatility. Due to the presence of multiple bromine atoms, it exhibits strong dipole moments and is relatively stable under standard conditions. 1,1,1,2,2-Pentabromoethane is primarily used as a flame retardant and in various industrial applications, although its environmental and health impacts have raised concerns. It is classified as a persistent organic pollutant, and its use is regulated in many jurisdictions. The compound is not readily biodegradable, which can lead to accumulation in the environment. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance, as it may pose risks to human health and the ecosystem.
