The most reactive group VII element is fluorine. Reactivity in the halogens decreases as you go down the group. This is because fluorine has fewer electron shells than the other halogens. This means the distance between the nucleus and the outermost energy level is shorter; consequently, the electrostatic forces of attraction between the nucleus and outer shell are stronger in fluorine. This makes it easier for fluorine to gain an electron, to form a single, positive charge.

negative ion
What type of compound does bromine form?
It's ionic if it is bonded with hydrogen or other metals, and it's covalent if with other nonmetals, but since bromine is a halogen, it is most likely to form ionic compounds.
