Answer:

Both a fluorine atom and a bromine atom gain one electron, and both atoms become stable.

Explanation:

The two elements compare when they form bonds in that when both a fluorine atom and a bromine atom gain one electron, they both become stable.

  • Fluorine and bromine are elements called halogens.
  • They both belong to group 7 on the periodic table.
  • When they gain an electron each, they become isoelectronic with a corresponding noble gas.
  • This gives their atom special stability.

Answer:

3) Both a fluorine atom and a bromine atom gain one electron, and both atoms become stable
