Bromine (Br) tends to gain electrons. As a halogen, it has seven valence electrons and seeks to achieve a full octet by gaining one additional electron. This makes bromine more likely to form negative ions (anions) in chemical reactions.

Which elements do you expect to lose electrons in their chemical reactions Which do you expect to gain electrons Al Sn Br Se?

I would expect the metals potassium, barium, and copper to lose electrons during chemical reactions. I would expect the nonmetals fluorine and sulfur to gain or share electrons depending of the chemical reaction.


Does Br lose or gain electrons to become an ion?

Bromine (Br) gains electrons to become an ion. In its elemental form, bromine has seven valence electrons and needs one more to achieve a stable octet configuration. By gaining an electron, it forms a negatively charged ion known as bromide (Br⁻).


Does bromine tend to lose or gain electrons to become an ion?

Bromine tends to gain one electron to become a Br- ion.


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.


How many electrons will Bromine have to lose to have the same electron configuration as Krypton?

Bromine (Br) has 35 electrons, while Krypton (Kr) has 36 electrons. To have the same electron configuration as Krypton, Bromine would need to lose one electron.


Does N and Br gain or lose electron?

Nitrogen atoms gain 3 electrons and form the nitride ion, N3-. Nitrogen atoms also form covalent bonds where they share 3 electrons and do not become ions. Bromine atoms gain 1 electron and form the bromide ion, Br-. Bromine atoms also form covalent bonds when they share 1 electron and do not become ions.


Why do halogens gain electrons?

Halogens have 7 valence electrons, in order to become a noble gas you need 8 so instead of losing electrons, it would be easier just to gain 1. That would make Halogens a negative 1 If you do the dot structure you can see that there is only room to gain 1 electron when forming a bond.

Can cobalt form an ionic bond with bromine?

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.


What is reduced and what is oxidized in Cl2 plus 2NaBr - 2Br plus 2NaCl?

Oxidation is loss of electrons and reduction is gain of electrons. In this case the Cl2 molecule is changed to two Cl- ions by gaining electrons, so the Cl2 is reduced. The Br in the NaBr salt is in the form of Br- ions. The Br- ions are changed to neutral Br atoms (a Br2 molecule) by losing electrons and so are oxidised.


What is the number of electrons that Br lost in forming?

Bromine gain an electron in chemical reactions.


Which element tends to gain one electron?

Boron, Krypton,Neon, and Radon Krypton, Neon and Radon do not gain electrons. Because an atom wants to have eight electrons in their valence shell or their outermost shell, and Krypto, Neon and Radon are Noble Gases which already have eight in their valence shells, so they don't lose or gain electrons. And as for Boron it want's to gain 5 electrons because it only has three in its valence shell.
