bromide is extremely reactive and mostly and quickly combines with anything but the most common is hydrogen While it is true that bromine is reactive and never found in its free state, the question here is "what element is most likely to react with bromine". Although the conditions of the reaction have an influence and mean there can be more than one answer to this question, the most common form of bromine found in ocean water or the earth's crust is sodium bromide, and, more theoretically, sodium is more reactive than hydrogen. Sodium has reacted with the most bromine because sodium itself is quite abundant, and, like bromine, is extremely reactive. The combination of bromine and hydrogen, hydrogen bromide, is almost always manufactured synthetically. Any free HBr in the environment would quickly react with soil or water constituents and most likely would form sodium bromide.

What is the difference between Bromine liquid and Bromine aqueous solution?

Bromine has only 2 stable isotopes(isotopes which do not undergo radioactive decay), whereas mercury has 7 stable isotopes. Mercury is a heavy weight metal, whereas bromine isn't exactly jusy as heavy. Mercury's atomic weight is200.59, which is heavier than bromines atomic weight of 79.904. Bromine has a strong bleachong action and smells of chlorine whileis obtained mainly from cinnabar, and is toxic to breath or ingest. While bromine does react quite fairly to most acids, mercury does not react with most of the acids known and tested. both of these metals belong to two entirely different groups. One similarity that these two fluid metals share is that they are liquid metals.


When forming an ion bromine is most likely to gain how many electrons?

Bromine is most likely to gain one electron when forming an ion, as it is in Group 17 of the periodic table (halogens) with 7 valence electrons. By gaining one electron, bromine achieves a stable octet and forms a Br- ion.


Which element is the most likely to be reduced?

The element that is most likely to be reduced is the element that has the highest reduction potential (E°) in a given redox reaction. The element with a more positive reduction potential is more likely to undergo reduction.


Element A is in the same group as element B and the same period as element C Which two of the three elements are likely to have similar properties?

Element A and element B are the most likely to have similar properties because they belong in the same family, because if you know an element's family you can tell the number of valance electrons and the elements they react with. In periods, the properties are not alike, they slowly change in a pattern.


Is bromine rare?

Bromine is not considered rare; it is the 47th most abundant element in Earth's crust. However, it is typically found in compounds rather than in its pure form due to its highly reactive nature. Bromine is commercially extracted from saltwater sources and is widely used in various industries.
