Eight valence electrons.
The anion form of bromine, bromide, has eight valence electrons. Bromine normally has seven valence electrons, but gains to to form bromide.
The anion is Br+; bromine has 7 valence electrons.

An anion is an ion with negative electrical charge.
If an element has less than four valence electrons, it will tend to lose its valence electrons and form cations. If an element has more than four valence electrons, it will tend to gain electrons and form anions. An element that has four valence electrons will tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds.

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.
The anion is Br+; bromine has 7 valence electrons.
There is no halogen that will become anionic. All of the valence electrons in halogens are filled, thus halogens will not react with any other compound or element. Bromine is an element that will form and anion with 36 electrons.
Chloride anion has 8 valence electrons.
Cl has 7 valence electrons.
The atoms of both elements have seven valence electrons and a strong tendency to abstract, from a less electronegative atom, an electron to complete their valence shells and thereby become an anion.

This number is different for each anion.
Bromine, atomic number 35. Each bromine atom (Br) has 35 electrons, and the bromine (or bromide) ion (Br1-) has 36 electrons.
flouride atoms are part of the halogen group and so have 7 valence electrons. however a flouride ion is a different story. firstly it depends if the ion is an anion or a cation. if the ion is F- then it is an anion and has 1 extra electron and so has 8 valence electrons. if it is F+ is is a cation and has lost an electron and so has only 6 valence electrons. if the ion is F2- this means it has gained two electrons and so on.
