Bromine Reaction: Electron Gain & Reduction - Understanding Br⁻ Formation

Science >> Science Discoveries > >> Chemistry

Bromine gains an electron to become a bromide ion, Br^-. So bromine undergoes a reduction reaction where its oxidation state decreases by one. The reaction is:

Br2 + 2e- → 2Br^-
