An atom of bromine-82 has 35 protons, 35 electrons and 47 neutrons. All electrically neutral atoms of bromine have 35 electrons.
Bromine has 4 electron shells.
A bromine atom with a mass number of 79 loses one electron to become a bromine ion with a negative 1 charge. This occurs when the atom gains an extra electron, giving it a full outer electron shell of 8 electrons, thus forming the Br- ion.
The bromine electron configuration is 4s23d104p5.
Bromine loses an electron and forms a bromide ion by gaining one electron in the reaction with sodium. Sodium donates its electron to bromine, making the bromine atom gain one electron and become a bromide ion during the reaction.
Bromine gains an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration and forms the bromide ion with a negative charge. This process is called reduction as bromine is gaining an electron.
Bromine tends to gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, making it an electron acceptor (accepts one electron).
l = 1
The oxidation number of Br- is -1. Bromine typically has an oxidation state of -1 when it forms an ion by gaining one electron.
The electron geometry of bromine pentafluoride is trigonal bipyramidal. This is because there are five regions of electron density around the central bromine atom.
Bromine has a higher electron affinity than iodine. This is because bromine has a smaller atomic size, resulting in a stronger attraction for electrons compared to iodine.
An iodine atom has the same number of electrons as a bromine ion. Both elements belong to the halogen group and have seven valence electrons. When bromine gains one electron to become an ion, it will have a full outer shell with eight electrons, the same electron configuration as iodine.
Both. Bromine gains one electron in ionic compounds. Bromine will share electron in covalent compounds.
