The chemical process of introducing bromine atoms into a molecule or compound.
From 'bromize' (to treat with bromine) plus the suffix '-ation' (indicating a process or result), derived ultimately from Greek 'bromos' (stench).
Bromization is crucial in organic chemistry labs—chemists use it to create new compounds for pharmaceuticals and materials, but they have to be careful because bromine can be corrosive and toxic in high concentrations.
