Bromine molecules have covalent bonding. Bromine molecule is stabilized by weak intermolecular forces of attraction such as van der Waals forces of attraction. van der Waals forces are result of creation of instantaneous dipoles caused by the uneven distribution of the electron cloud. The weak intermolecular forces of attraction account for the lower melting point of bromine.

Melting point is dependent on the intermolecular forces which means the bonds between the molecules of bromine as it is a simple molecular structure the intermolecular bonds of bromine are weak bcz they are weak vandervaal forces thats why Bromines melting point is low..In short when intermolecular bomds are weak the M.P is lower

Explanation:

When talking about our universe there are 5 d orbitals. The element of first transition series moves away from the universal principles of Hund's rule and Aufbav's principle. So in order to attain stability these elements tend to form half or full filled orbitals.

In our universe the ground state electronic configuration of sixth transition metal, Iron (Fe) : [Ar] $3d^{6} 4s^{2}$
