Sodium Bromide

Sodium Bromide

Description

Sodium bromide consists of two elements Na (Sodium) and Br (Bromide). It has light whitish and light silver mixed color, sodium bromide is an inorganic compound with the formula NaBr, it is high-melting white, crystalline solid that resembles sodium chloride. It is a widely used source of the bromide ion and has many applications sodium bromide is the most useful inorganic bromide industry. Sodium bromide is a brominating agent mainly used in organic synthetic reaction as a bromide source it has to be prepared from various compounds to become sodium. It is not freely available in nature like other elements.

Structure

Sodium bromide is represented by the chemical formula NaBr. It is formed by one positively charged particle(cation) of sodium Na and one negatively charged particle anion of bromide Br which are joined through the ionic bond.
