Question 26 (1 point)

Chemistry
1 answer:
g100num [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct option is;

Bromine will gain 1 valence electron to become a negative ion

Explanation:

Bromine can be found in period 4 in group 17 of the periodic table and is an halogen

The electron configuration of bromine can be presented as follows;

Electronic configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁵

Therefore, an atom of bromine has 2 + 5 or 7 electrons in its outermost shell, which makes it have one less electron to complete a full octet structure and therefore, bromine has a strong affinity for electron to complete its octet structure and it is thus a strong oxidizing agent.

When bromine enters into a chemical reaction and gains the one valence electron it becomes a negatively charged ion.

What is different about the atomic structure of the oxygen isotopes?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Each isotope of oxygen contains 8 protons, but differs in the number of neutrons. An isotope number is a shorthand representation of its mass. Because protons and neutrons are roughly equal in mass, an isotope's number is equal to the sum of its protons and neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons and electrons. The difference in the number of neutrons between the various isotopes of an element means that the various isotopes have different masses.

Why do atoms combine with each other?
Rudiy27

Most interactions among atoms take place in the outermost shell of each atom. The number of each electron in this shell determines how an atom combines with other atoms to form compounds. When atoms combine they gain, lose or share electrons in such a way that the outer shells become chemically complete.
