Ionic Bonds and Bromine Properties

The video explains how bromine, represented as Br, forms an ion with a one minus charge. By examining the periodic table, it is shown that elements in group 17, like bromine, gain an extra electron to achieve this charge. The video further illustrates how bromine can bond with elements from group 1, such as sodium, which has a one plus charge. This results in an ionic bond due to the attraction between the opposite charges of the ions. The video concludes by reaffirming that bromine forms ions with a one minus charge.
