Does selenium and bromine have the same number of valence electrons?

No, Selenium has 6 valence electrons while Bromine has 7. You can determine this because on the periodic table, Selenium is in Group VI while Bromine is in group VII.


Does fluorine share more characteristics with bromine or neon How can you tell?

Fluorine and bromine have 7 valence electrons and hence their properties are similar. Neon has 8 valence electrons and the properties are different from that of fluorine.


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.


How many additional valence electron shells does bromine need to have a full valence shell?

It needs only 1 more electron since it already has 7 valence electrons.


How many electrons on their outer shell does bromine have?

Seven , outer shell electrons or valence electrons increase as you move from left to right on the periodic table not including the transition metals which vary, they start with 1 valence in the alkali earth metals , and finish with 8 valence electrons on the noble gasses (group 18)


How many total valence electrons make up BrO31?

Bromine has 7 electrons. Three bonds with oxygen give sic electrons and the charge gives one. Therefore, bromine has 14 electrons in valence shell in Bromate(V) ion.
