The molecule
Br_2 has a covalent bond and comes from the bromide ion,
Br^(-). Each ion has 7 valence electrons to bring to the Lewis structure . Each
Br^(-) interacts with eight valence electrons, six as lone pair and 2 as a shared pair. This means the are 14 electrons available to build the Lewis dot structure.
