Every oxygen atom has -2 as its oxidation number (and 8 electrons in its valence shells). By balancing the charges, bromine is in +5 state: +6 with six bonds with oxygen and -1 from central charge. After counting the electron that is not involved above--bromine has 14 electrons in its valence shell.

How many total valence electrons make up BrO31?

Bromine has 7 electrons. Three bonds with oxygen give sic electrons and the charge gives one. Therefore, bromine has 14 electrons in valence shell in Bromate(V) ion.


What are the total numbers of valence electrons in LI2O?

To find the total number of valence electrons in Li2O, we add the valence electrons of lithium (1 valence electron each) to the valence electrons of oxygen (6 valence electrons). So, Li2O has 2 (from Li) + 6 (from O) = 8 valence electrons.
