Question

what will be bromines charge when it becomes an ion? 1+ 1- 7- 7+

Explanation:

Bromine is a halogen (Group 17 in the periodic table). Halogens have 7 valence electrons. To achieve a stable octet (8 - electron) configuration, they gain 1 electron. When an atom gains an electron, it forms a negatively - charged ion (anion). The charge of an ion is determined by the number of electrons gained or lost. Since bromine gains 1 electron, its charge is \(1-\).

Answer:

1 -
