<span><span>When you write down the electronic configuration of bromine and sodium, you get this
Na:
Br: </span></span>
<span><span />So here we the know the valence electrons for each;</span>
<span><span>Na: (2e)
Br: (7e, you don't count for the d orbitals)
Then, once you know this, you can deduce how many bonds each can do and you discover that bromine can do one bond since he has one electron missing in his p orbital, but that weirdly, since the s orbital of sodium is full and thus, should not make any bond.
However, it is possible for sodium to come in an excited state in wich he will have sent one of its electrons on an higher shell to have this valence configuration:</span></span>
<span><span /></span><span><span>
</span>where here now it has two lonely valence electrons, one on the s and the other on the p, so that it can do a total of two bonds.</span><span>That's why bromine and sodium can form </span>

Answer:
hello, i hope this helps.
Explanation:
1 - group
2 - period
3 - periodic table
4 - family
5 - octet rule
6 - valence electrons
Silicon, it's bring brother would be the prime candidate, although its compounds are notably different from those of carbon.
Answer:
Explanation:
7) A block of wood
has a length of 10.2
cm, a width of 6 cm
and a height of 4.1
cm. The wood has
a total mass of 179
grams. What is the
volume of the
wood and what is
the density of the
wood?
volume = L XW XH=10.2 X 6 X4.1 =250.92cm^3
DENSITY = M/V = 179gm/250.92 cm^3
=0.713 gm/cm^3
