Formula and structure: Sodium bromide chemical formula is NaBr and the molar mass is 102.89 g mol-1. It can be found hydrated by one (monohydrate NaBr) or two (duhydrate NaBr) water molecules. Sodium bromide is formed by one sodium cation Na+ and one bromide anion Br- which are joined through an ionic bond.
How is bromide formed?
The Bromide Formation is the uppermost part of the Simpson Group, and originates from the Upper Ordovician (early Sandbian). This mostly carbonate succession is divided into the Mountain Lake and overlying Pooleville members. ... The Bromide Formation is a shallow water marine sediment.
What is NaBr compound made from?
Sodium bromide
Why is NaBr an ionic compound?
Sodium bromide is a type of an ionic compound. The reason that this compound is ionic is that is is comprised of sodium that is a metal and also acts as a cation and bromine, which is a non-metal and acts as an anion. Hence, they form an ionic type of bond.
