Answer:

LiBr.

Explanation:

  • Li has 3.0 electrons in his atom and its electronic configuration is 2,1.
  • Br has 35.0 electrons i his atom and its electronic configuration 2,8,18,7.
  • Li has only one electron in its outermost shell and needs losing it to reach stability.
  • While, Br has 7 electrons in its outermost shell and needs gaining 1.0 electron to reach stability "octet rule".
  • So, Li and Br bonded by 1:1 ratio and the chemical formula is LiBr.
