Properties
Ammonium perbromate is stable at room temperature, and has solubilities which are similar to ammonium perchlorate. Ammonium perbromate is much less hygroscopic in comparison to ammonium perchlorate, absorbing roughly 1/6 as much water when maintained in an atmosphere with high humidity.[1]
