bromide
Let an agent explain bromides and their kinds, relay properties, uses and hazards from chemistry and safety sources, describe the compounds the registry aliases name, and distinguish bromides from bromates, organobromine compounds, elemental bromine and the figurative sense of a trite remark.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain bromides and their kinds, relay properties, uses and hazards from chemistry and safety sources, describe the compounds the registry aliases name, and distinguish bromides from bromates, organobromine compounds, elemental bromine and the figurative sense of a trite remark.
A compound containing bromine in the minus-one oxidation state bonded to a less electronegative element or group, including salts such as lithium, calcium and ammonium bromide and covalent bromides such as tellurium bromides and astatine monobromide, used in drilling fluids, flame retardants, absorption chillers, photography and historically as sedatives; the registry parent halide places bromides with fluorides, chlorides and iodides.
What it is for: Industrial, laboratory and historical medicinal uses.
It can be explain the class; relay uses and hazards; describe named compounds; distinguish related senses.
Distinguishing features
Bromine minus one
Ionic and covalent forms
Industrial uses
Historical sedatives
What it looks like
Mostly white crystalline salts; some covalent bromides are coloured.
Physical character
lithium bromide use: absorption refrigeration note
calcium bromide use: dense completion fluids in drilling note
bromide sedatives: 19th to mid-20th century note - largely abandoned
How it is recognised
Compound with bromide ion or bromine minus one
Lithium bromide, calcium bromide, ammonium bromide, tellurium bromides, astatine monobromide
Bromates contain BrO3 minus; organobromines have C-Br bonds; bromine is the element; a bromide is also a trite remark
