Predict the products for the following set of reactants. Cs(s) + Br2(l) → A) CsBr(s) B) CsBr₂(s) C) CsBr(l) D) CsBr₂(l) E) Cs₂Br(s)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction between Cs and Br2 will most likely form CsBr as Cs is highly reactive with halogens and will readily react to form an ionic compound. The other options are not feasible as they either have incorrect chemical formulas or involve the formation of a molecular compound instead of an ionic compound.
