Silver bromite

Silver bromite is a hypothetical / unstable molecule which is a silver salt that contains 1 silver cation($\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}{\phantom{A}}^{+}$) and 1 bromite anion ($\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{O}{\phantom{A}}_2{\phantom{A}}^{+}$). Silver bromite ($\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{O}{\phantom{A}}_2$) quickly disproportionates into silver bromate ($\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{O}{\phantom{A}}_3$) and silver bromide ($\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}$).

$2\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{O}{\phantom{A}}_2⟶\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{O}{\phantom{A}}_3+\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}$

The biproduct silver bromide is stable under normal conditions; however, it breaks down when exposed to light.

$2\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}⟶2\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}+\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}{\phantom{A}}_2$

Unlike silver bromide, silver bromate does not get affected by light and is stable under normal conditions; however, it does decompose into silver bromide and oxygen.

$2\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{O}{\phantom{A}}_3\stackrel{\mathrm{h}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{t}}{\to }2\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}+3\mathrm{O}{\phantom{A}}_2$
