Question

name the compound albr₃. aluminum(iii) bromide aluminum tribromide aluminum bromide monoaluminum tribromide

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

AlBr₃ is an ionic compound. In naming ionic compounds, we name the cation (Aluminum) first and then the anion (bromide). For metals that have only one common charge (Aluminum has a +3 charge which is its only common charge in compounds), we do not need to use Roman numerals (so not aluminum(III) bromide) or prefixes (so not aluminum tribromide or monoaluminum tribromide as prefixes are for covalent compounds). We simply name the cation followed by the anion.

Answer:

aluminum bromide
