Does bromine form a cation or an anion?
Bromine (Br) forms a anion (negative charge) because it is a halogen, and it gains 1 electron. However, when it gains that electron (Br)- its name changes to Bromide ion.
Is tin cation or anion?
Tin itself is a neutral element and therefore neither a cation nor an anion. A single tin atom can form a cation by donating two or four of its electrons to more electronegative atoms. A single tin atom is not electronegative enough to form an anion, but together with oxygen atoms, a tin atom can form a polyatomic anion.
Is francium a cation or anion?
francium can form monovalent cations.
Is bromine an anion or cation?
Normally, bromine forms an anion, because it gains one electron to have a full octet, and is then negative. (Br1-) However, bromine can from a cation, as is the case when using N-bromosuccinimide (Br+ is given off).

Does bromine form a cation or an anion?
Bromine (Br) forms a anion (negative charge) because it is a halogen, and it gains 1 electron. However, when it gains that electron (Br)- its name changes to Bromide ion.
What is the cation for aluminum and bromine?
Aluminium cation is 3+; bromide anion is Br-. The aluminium bromide is AlBr3.

How many valence electrons dose a bromine anion contain?
The anion form of bromine, bromide, has eight valence electrons. Bromine normally has seven valence electrons, but gains to to form bromide.
What two atoms form an ionic bond?
Generally the ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal (cation and anion). As an example, sodium and bromine: sodium bromide, NaBr.
Can a covalent bond form between an anion and a cation?
