Use Lewis theory to determine the chemical formula for the compound formed between Na and Br. A) Na Br₂ B) Na ₂Br C) Na Br D) Na ₂Br₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Lewis theory, Na has one valence electron and Br has seven valence electrons. Na will donate its valence electron to Br, which will fill its outermost shell, resulting in the formation of NaBr. The chemical formula is simply the combination of the symbols for the two elements, Na and Br. Therefore, answer choice C, Na Br, is the correct answer.
