Question

How many covalent bonds are formed between the two bromine atoms of the $B r_{2}$ molecule?

Open in App

Solution

In a bromine molecule, the two bromine atoms are attracted to the same pair of electrons.

Each bromine atom has 7 electrons in the valence shell and requires 1 more electron to form a stable configuration.

Each bromine atom contributes 1 electron to the bonded pair and is therefore involved in bonding.
