Bromine (Br) forms a anion (negative charge) because it is a halogen, and it gains 1 electron. However, when it gains that electron (Br)- its name changes to Bromide ion.
anion. bromine is a non metal which gains an electron making it negative.
Normally, bromine forms an anion, because it gains one electron to have a full octet, and is then negative. (Br1-) However, bromine can from a cation, as is the case when using N-bromosuccinimide (Br+ is given off).
Tin itself is a neutral element and therefore neither a cation nor an anion. A single tin atom can form a cation by donating two or four of its electrons to more electronegative atoms. A single tin atom is not electronegative enough to form an anion, but together with oxygen atoms, a tin atom can form a polyatomic anion.
Francium is a cation because it loses an electron to become positively charged.
Iodine forms the iodide ion. It has a charge of negative 1 (-1)
Br is an anion. It is called bromide and is the ion form of the element bromine.
anion. bromine is a non metal which gains an electron making it negative.
Aluminium cation is 3+; bromide anion is Br-. The aluminium bromide is AlBr3.
Bromine is a diatomic molecule and not an ion. It exists as a neutral element in its standard state.
Yes, cobalt can form an ionic bond with bromine. Cobalt can lose electrons to form a cation (Co2+) while bromine can gain electrons to form an anion (Br-), resulting in the formation of an ionic compound.
Sulfur tribromide is a neutral molecule, not an anion or cation. It is composed of one sulfur atom and three bromine atoms held together by covalent bonds.
Normally, bromine forms an anion, because it gains one electron to have a full octet, and is then negative. (Br1-) However, bromine can from a cation, as is the case when using N-bromosuccinimide (Br+ is given off).
Scandium is a cation because it tends to lose electrons to form a positive charge.
Cs and Br form an ionic bond in CsBr compound. Cesium (Cs) is a metal that loses an electron to become a cation, while bromine (Br) is a nonmetal that gains an electron to become an anion. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions leads to the formation of an ionic bond.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
A bromine anion (Br-) contains 8 valence electrons. Bromine is in group 7A of the periodic table and has 7 valence electrons. When it gains an extra electron to form an anion, it now has a total of 8 valence electrons.
Silver forms a cation with a charge of +1, represented as Ag+.
