Answer: The ion formed after the reduction of bromine is
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of Sodium (Na) =
The electronic configuration of Bromine (Br) =
From the above configurations, Sodium ion will loose 1 electron in order to gain stable electronic configuration and that electron is accepted by the Bromine atom because it is 1 electron short of the stable electronic configuration.
(oxidation reaction)
(Reduction reaction)
Bromine atom is reduced to form
Reduction reactions are the reactions in which the element gain electrons.
Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which the element looses its electrons.
