What is the formula for zinc bromide?

Open in App

Solution

The zinc ion will have a charge of +2 and the bromide ion has a charge of -1 because it is a halogen.

Combining the ions in a 1:2 ratio produces a compound that is electrically neutral.

Zinc can sometimes have other oxidation states (+1 for example) but these are pretty rare.

The formula of zinc bromide is $Z n B r_{2}$
