Answer 1

Bromine (Br) is in group 17 of the periodic table and has 7 valence electrons.

Among the options provided, the element that has the same number of valence electrons as bromine is selenium (Se), which is in group 16 but is in the same period and has 6 valence electrons.

However, if we consider elements that actually have the same number of valence electrons as Br, it would be other group 17 elements, such as chlorine (Cl), which also has 7 valence electrons.

Thus the correct response would be chlorine (Cl).
