In the reaction between bromine and sodium, a bromine atom gains an electron. What ion is formed? Is the bromine oxidized, or is it reduced?
Answered by DrBob222
Sodium forms the sodium ion (Na^+) and bromine forms the bromide ion (Br^-).
Since bromine (Br2, oxidation state of zero) goes to bromide ion (Br^-, oxidation state of -1), it is a gain of an electron for each bromide ion formed. Gain of electron is reduction. Obviously Na goes to Na^+, that is a loss of an electron, that is oxidation.

In the reaction between bromine and sodium, a bromine atom gains an electron and forms the bromide ion, Br–. What happens to bromine?

Becky halton for you first one (the b) go 4 down 6 over then you will see an 8. for the second one (the h) all i see is the lower case h's at the end it would rely hard to do if you added a uppercase i or lowercase L (had to do uppercase L to show you that it is not the uppercase i, if your going to do this next time make sure the L is lowercase =)
