The charge that bromine forms in compounds is -1. This is because it is a type of halogen that takes electrons to fill its outer shell.

Does bromine lose or share electrons in compounds?

Both. Bromine gains one electron in ionic compounds. Bromine will share electron in covalent compounds.


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.

How many electrons must bromine br gain or lose?

Boron can lose 3 electrons from its valence shell that is 2 in 2s & 1 in 2p sub-shell, wheras it cannot gain electron b'coz of its electropositive nature & it has less electron affinity.


Why do some compounds have no charge?

Strictly, all compounds have no charge. What would be a compound if neutral but actually has a charge should properly be called an ion. Some compounds, such as the diatomic molecules of the elements hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, have perfectly symmetrical covalent bonds without even any polarity. Most covalent bonds between dissimilar atoms have some polarity, as do all ionicly bonded compounds, but this does not mean that the compounds themselves have net electrical charge.


When ions having a positive charge form Bond with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compounds is?

false


Can chlorine and bromine form an ionic compound?

The short answer is no. Compounds between two halogens do occur, they are called interhalogen compounds, but they are covalent and anyway none between chlorine and bromine have been isolated. There is an ion, [BrCl2]- but its internal bonding is covalent.
