The electronic configuration of Bromine is [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p5 so there are seven valence electrons, two in the 4s orbital and 5 in the 4p orbital.
The most stable oxidation state of the element is â1, in which bromine occurs naturally. But oxidation states of 0 (elemental bromine, Br2), +1 (hypobromite, BrO), +3 (bromite, BrO2), +5 (bromate, BrO3), and +7 (perbromate, BrO4) are also known.
