Question

what is the correct name for the molecule hbr? hydrogen bromide hydrogen monobromide hydrogen bromine monohydrogen monobromide

Explanation:

When naming binary covalent compounds (compounds formed between two non - metals), the prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element. However, for the first element in the formula, the prefix "mono -" is usually omitted. In the case of \(HBr\), there is 1 hydrogen (\(H\)) and 1 bromine (\(Br\)) atom. The name of the first element (\(H\)) is "hydrogen" (without the "mono -" prefix), and the name of the second element (\(Br\)) is changed to end with "-ide", so it is "bromide".

Answer:

Hydrogen bromide
