Question

Give the names of the elements present in the following compounds:

Hydrogen Bromide

Answer 1

Compounds:

• A chemical compound is composed of many identical molecules which are composed of atoms from more than one element held together by chemical bonds.
• For example, water$\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$ is a compound that contains the elements Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Hydrogen Bromide:

• The atomic number of Hydrogen is $1$and the atomic number of Bromine is $35$.
• The electronic configuration of Hydrogen is $1{\mathrm{s}}^1$and Bromine is $1{\mathrm{s}}^{2}2{\mathrm{s}}^{2}2{\mathrm{p}}^{6}3{\mathrm{s}}^{2}3{\mathrm{p}}^{6}4{\mathrm{s}}^{2}3{\mathrm{d}}^{10}4{\mathrm{p}}^5$
• Bromine needs one more electron to complete its outermost shell so Hydrogen share one electron with bromine and forms Hydrogen Bromide.
• Hydrogen bromide is an inorganic compound that has the formula $\mathrm{HBr}$.
• It is a Hydrogen halide that consists of the elements Hydrogen and Bromine.
• Hydrogen bromide is mainly used in the production of chemicals and drugs as a solvent and as veterinary drugs.
