Question

Bromine is a halogen, one of the elements in the same column of the periodic table of elements
as fluorine. Like fluorine, one bromine atom can form a diatomic covalent molecule with another
bromine atom. Which of the following images represents a stable molecule of bromine, Br2?
A. Diagram A
B.diagram B
C.Diagram C
D.DiagramD

Answer 1

Answer:

noooo...it's B

Explanation:

Answer 2

The image which represents a stable molecule of bromine, Br2 is; Choice B: Diagram B.

As implied in the question;

• Like Flourine, one bromine atom can form a diatomic covalent molecule with another bromine atom.

• A covalent bond is a bond characterized by the sharing of electrons as opposed to the complete transfer of electrons in ionic bonding.

Since each Bromine atom has 7 Valence electrons, they both donate an electron to form an electron pair which they both share.

Consequently, a stable Br2 molecule is properly represented by Diagram B
