Sodium, a alkali metal, forms a cation because it donates one of it's electrons to,
Na +
------
an anion, a nonmetal, which accept an electron from sodium.

Is bromine a atom or ion?
"Bromine" is the name of an atom or an element. The corresponding ion is named "bromide".
Which atom has the same electron shell arrangement of a ion of bromine?
The noble gas krypton has the same electron configuration as an ion of bromine, Br-.
Why does bromine form a -1 ion?
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.
When bromine atom gains one electron?
a bromide ion is formed, the ion formed has a -1 charge, and the ion formed is an anion
Calcium and Bromine have formed a bond Leading up to this calcium gave up electrons It was a negative ion shared ion positive ion neutral atom?
a negative ion
Is bromine a atom or ion?
"Bromine" is the name of an atom or an element. The corresponding ion is named "bromide".
A bromine atom would form its most stable ion by?
gaining 1 electron
Is bromine an isotope ion or atom?
Bromine is a chemical element and has several isotopes.
Is bromine isotope or ion or neutral atom?
Bromine is a chemical element and has several isotopes.
What happens to bromine when bromine atom gains an electron and forms the bromide ion Br -?
Bromine becomes basic.
What is the charge for a bromine ion with 26 electrons?
A bromine ion with only 26 electrons is not possible. A bromine atom has 35 electrons and it can't loose 9 electrons.
Which atom has the same electron shell arrangement of a ion of bromine?
The noble gas krypton has the same electron configuration as an ion of bromine, Br-.
Why does bromine form a -1 ion?
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.
When bromine atom gains one electron?
a bromide ion is formed, the ion formed has a -1 charge, and the ion formed is an anion
Does bromine form an ion isoelectronic with krypton?
yes
Bromine atoms always gain one electron when they become an ion which atom has the same number of electrons as a bromine ion?
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.
What happens when an bromine atom gains an electorn?
The ion becomes negatively charged, -1, and is reduced.
