Answer:
2. 14
Explanation:
To form Br₂ bond, a total of 14 electrons are needed.
Bromine is an element in the 7th group on the periodic table. It has 7 valence electrons.
- In forming the bromine gas, the two atoms of bromine shares 7 electrons each.
- These electrons are from their outermost shell.
- The outermost shell is the valence shell.
- So, two atoms donating 7 electrons gives 14 electrons.

fourth period
The third period is similar to the second, except the 3s and 3p sublevels are being filled. Because the 3d sublevel does not fill until after the 4s sublevel, the fourth period contains 18 elements, due to the 10 additional electrons that can be accommodated by the 3d orbitals.
