Answer- Bromide ion (Option 2)

Explanation:

• If any atom, molecule or ions have unpaired electrons in outer shell configuration is called radicals.
• Free radicals can have charge either ‘positive, negative or zero’.
• Even though have the “unpaired electrons” by the ‘convention, metals and their ions’ or the complexes with the “unpaired electrons” aren’t the radicals. The radicals which have the “unpaired electrons” in their ‘outer most energy levels’ are more reactive.
• Free radicals are generally represented by superscript dot.
