bromine has 17 electrons in the valence shell. by gaining one electron it gets the electronic configuration of the next noble gas. hence it gains one electron and forms -1 ion

What is the correct formula for a lithium ion and bromine ion compound?

The formula for the compound formed between lithium ion (Li+) and bromine ion (Br-) is LiBr. Lithium being a group 1 element with a +1 charge and bromine being a group 17 element with a -1 charge, they combine in a 1:1 ratio to form a stable ionic compound.


What is the charge of a bromine ion?

A bromine ion has a -1 charge. That's because it is a halogen, and it is an electron "borrower" which wants to steal an electron to "complete" its outer electron shell. When it snags an electron to fulfill that tendancy of atoms to attain inert gas electron configuration, it ends up with that "extra" electron and a -1 charge. This is typical of all halogens, those elements that make up the Group 17 elements.
