It may be Bromine-79 (79Br) because it is one of the 2 stable isotopes. The other one is Bromine-81 (81Br).
The isotope 85Br has 35 protons and electrons; also 45 neutrons.
That is done to calculate the weighted average.
For young students, let's assume that all elements of bromine have a molecular weight of 80. Because electrons have effectively no mass, what the molecular weight is is basically the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. So the number of neutrons = 80 - 35 = 45.For older students, bromine has two isotopes, 79Br and 81Br. So, for the former isotope bromine would have 44 neutrons, and for the latter isotope it would have 46 neutrons. The natural abundance of each isotope is approx 50%.Bromine has the atomic number 35, which means there are 35 protons in the nucleus of an atom of bromine.The mass number (also known as the atomic mass number) of an element is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.Bromine's mass number is 80, so there must be 35 protons and 45 neutrons in an atom of bromine.
The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1u. Atomic mass of bromine is 80u. Therefore, the molar mass of hydrogen bromide is 1+80=81u.
It is the 35th isotope of Bromine

Bromine's average eight is 79.904 is the answer in my reference, with more than 20 isotopes.
The isotope of bromine called 81-bromine. Since the element you are describing has 35 electrons, it must also have 35 protons. Therefore you end up with bromine which is the 35th element (since the amount of protons are equal to the elements number). Adding 46 to 35 gives you the weight of the specific bromine isotope, since the weight of the element is also the name of the isotope. It is also not radioactive.
This is the radioactive isotope bromine-78.
It may be Bromine-79 (79Br) because it is one of the 2 stable isotopes. The other one is Bromine-81 (81Br).
All atoms of chemical elements contain protons, neutrons (excepting the isotope H-1)and electrons. The natural isotopes of bromine are 79Br and 81Br. For the list of all isotopes see the link below.
This occurs because bromine has stable isotopes of mass 79 and 81. There is a slight natural excess of the lighter isotope, so that the average is 79.9.
