Question

2 multiple choice 1 point what is the correct name for the following compound: babr₂ barium bromide barium bromate barium (i) bromide barium bromine

Explanation:

In naming ionic compounds, for a compound formed by a metal (barium, Ba) and a non - metal (bromine, Br), the metal is named first as its element name, and the non - metal is named with the ending changed to "-ide". Barium is in Group 2 and has a +2 charge, and bromine forms a Br⁻ ion. The compound BaBr₂ is named barium bromide. Bromate refers to BrO₃⁻, and bromine is the elemental form of Br₂. Also, barium usually has a +2 oxidation state in its compounds and doesn't need a Roman numeral (I) here.

Answer:

A. Barium Bromide
