Apotassium atom (atomic number 19) and a bromine atom (atomic number 35) can form a chemical bond through a transfer of one electron. the potassium ion that forms has 18 electrons. what best describes the bromide ion that forms?

C. It is a negative ion that has one more valence electron than a neutral bromine atom.

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
