A chemical compound containing both bromine and iodine atoms, often describing salts or organic compounds with both halogens present.
From bromo- (bromine) + iodide (iodine compound, from Greek iodes). Modern systematic chemical nomenclature for compounds with dual halogenation.
Bromoiodides show an interesting pattern in chemistry: when you mix halogens together, they don't just randomly combine—their relative reactivity determines which parts of a molecule they attach to, a principle called regioselectivity.
