Question

Based on the electron configuration of the two
atoms, predict the ratio of metal cationic (+) atom
to nonmetal anionic (-) atom in the compound.
Sodium 1s22s22p63s1
Bromine 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p5
A. 1:1
B. 1:2
C. 2:1
D. 3:1

Answer 1

your answer would be D which is 3:1

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A 1:1.

How sodium bromide is formed?

• Sodium is a highly reactive metal, it is a positively charged radical that is extremely unstable.
• As a result, this element forms an ionic bond with the negatively charged bromide radical to produce the sodium bromide molecule.
• Now that this ionic link is fairly stable, the NaBr molecule is known as sodium bromide.
• Sodium bromide is the chemical name for NaBr.
• Because the positive and negative radicals form a polarity where electrons are shared on the more electronegative radical, the bromide liberal in sodium bromide, the structure of sodium bromide is linear and polar.
