A chemical compound formed when a molecule bonds with two bromine atoms; a variant spelling of dibromide.
From di- (two) + bromide, from bromine + -ide (chemistry suffix). This older spelling variant reflects different transliteration preferences from German and other European chemical nomenclature.
The shift from 'dibromid' to 'dibromide' shows how English gradually standardized chemical terminology, absorbing the '-ide' ending to match other halide compounds.
