Hypobromous acid is a weak unstable acid with chemical formula HBrO. It is also called bromic(I) acid bromanol or hydroxidobromine. It occurs only in solution and has chemical and physical properties that are very similar to those of hypochlorous acid. In aqueous solution hypobromous acid partially dissociates into the hypobromite anion OBr− and the cation H+.
