"Bromine" is the name of an atom or an element. The corresponding ion is named "bromide".
The noble gas krypton has the same electron configuration as an ion of bromine, Br-.
a bromide ion is formed, the ion formed has a -1 charge, and the ion formed is an anion
a negative ion
No. The bromide ion (Br-) contains only a single atom of bromine with an extra electron.
Bromine has seven electrons in its outermost energy level. It can get the stable electron configuration by getting one electron from another atom which makes the -1 charge.
Bromine is a chemical element and has several isotopes.
Bromine is a chemical element and has several isotopes.
Bromine becomes basic.
A bromine ion with only 26 electrons is not possible. A bromine atom has 35 electrons and it can't loose 9 electrons.
The noble gas krypton has the same electron configuration as an ion of bromine, Br-.
a bromide ion is formed, the ion formed has a -1 charge, and the ion formed is an anion
gaining 1 electron
If bromine gains one more electron, then it will have 36 electrons total. The only neutral atom with 36 electrons is just the next element on the periodic table, Krypton.
The ion becomes negatively charged, -1, and is reduced.
a negative ion
The element bromine has an atomic number of 35. This means that each atom contains 35 protons, and the requirement for electrical neutrality in an atom means that the atom also contains 35 electrons. A bromide ion contains one more electrons than a bromine atom: 36.
Bromine has 7 electrons in its outer shell and needs to gain one electron to have a full outer shell and become an ion. It will gain this electron from an atom that has one electron in its outer shell such as Lithium or Sodium.
