How does bromine arrange itself as a molecule?

Bromine doesn't naturally react with itself. it has to made manufacturally in labs to create Br2. As bromine is found in salt just under the earths crust and has to attach itself to other atoms before being able to attach itself to another bromine atom, through a different atom, naturally.

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).


What is the bond between bromine and bromine?

How many valence electrons does HBr have?

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. Bromine has 7 valence electrons. When hydrogen and bromine react, the bromine atom 'steals' the hydrogen atom's only electron. The hydrogen atom then has no electrons and the bromine atom has 8 valence electrons. The two atoms are now ions because their number of protons does not equal their number of electrons. The bromine atom is now a bromide anion and the hydrogen atom is now a hydrogen cation (a proton). The two ions remain together, ionicly bonded and together are called hydrogen bromide.
