Question
what is the correct name for the molecule hbr? hydrogen monobromide monohydrogen monobromide hydrogen bromide hydrogen bromine
Hydrogen bromide (\(HBr\)) is a binary compound composed of hydrogen (\(H\)) and bromine (\(Br\)). When naming binary compounds where hydrogen is combined with a non - metal (in this case, bromine), the naming convention is to use the name of the non - metal with the suffix “-ide” and the word “hydrogen” at the beginning. There is no need to use prefixes like “mono -” for binary compounds of hydrogen with non - metals in this context. “Hydrogen bromine” is incorrect as the correct suffix for bromine in this compound is “-ide” (since it is in a binary compound with hydrogen in its non - ionic, molecular form here).
