Bromine the element is neutral, meaning it has neither a positive nor a negative charge.

However it typically forms negative ions.

What happens to bromine when bromine atom gains an electron and forms the bromide ion Br -?

When a bromine atom gains an electron to form the bromide ion (Br-), it becomes negatively charged. The added electron gives the ion a full outer shell of electrons, making it stable. The bromide ion will be attracted to positively charged ions or molecules.


If a bromine atom attracts electron from potassium atom what happens to both?

The bromine atom gains an electron and becomes a negatively charged bromide ion, while the potassium atom loses an electron and becomes a positively charged potassium ion. This results in the formation of an ionic bond between the two ions, leading to the creation of potassium bromide salt.


Is sodium bromide ionic or covalent bonds?

Sodium bromide consists of ionic bonds. Sodium (Na) is a metal that tends to lose an electron to form a positively charged ion, while bromine (Br) is a non-metal that tends to gain an electron to form a negatively charged ion. This results in the attraction between the positively and negatively charged ions, forming an ionic bond.


Lithium has one valence electron Bromine has seven valence electrons How might they form a chemical bond?

Lithium could donate its one valence electron to Bromine, resulting in lithium becoming positively charged and bromine becoming negatively charged. The opposite charges would then attract, forming an ionic bond between the two atoms.


Salt is formed from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine the charge on the salt becomes negative A True B False?

B. False. Salt (sodium chloride) is a neutral compound formed from the combination of a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion. The overall charge of salt remains neutral.

How do positively charged objects differ from negatively charged objects?

Positively charged objects have an excess of protons compared to electrons, while negatively charged objects have an excess of electrons compared to protons. These imbalances in charge cause positively charged objects to attract negatively charged objects and repel other positively charged objects, and vice versa for negatively charged objects.


Does every atom have a negatively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons?

No. Every atom has a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons.Unless you are talking about antimatter. The atoms of antimatter have negatively charged nuclei and surrounded by positively charged positrons


Is AlBr3 ionic or molecular?

AlBr3 is considered ionic because it is made up of positively charged aluminum cations and negatively charged bromine anions held together by ionic bonds.


What is the formation of positively and negatively charged objects?

Positively charged objects gain electrons to become negatively charged. Negatively charged objects lose electrons to become positively charged. This exchange of electrons creates an imbalance of positive and negative charges, leading to the attraction between the objects.
