A type of mineral compound or salt containing bromine, particularly those formed from bromine and oxygen.
From bromine + -ite (a mineral suffix). The -ite ending is used in mineralogy to name minerals and chemical compounds, following the pattern of other brominated compounds.
Bromite is part of chemistry's naming system where -ite endings often indicate minerals with less oxygen than their -ate counterparts—it's like nature's way of organizing the periodic table into rock form!
