Answer:

NaF(aq)

Step-by-step explanation:

When sodium bromide react with fluorine sodium fluoride is formed. Florine is more reactive than bromine that's why it displace the bromine and form compound with sodium.

Chemical reaction:

NaBr(aq) + F₂(aq) → NaF(aq) + Br₂(aq)

Balanced chemical equation:

2NaBr(aq) + F₂(aq) → 2NaF(aq) + Br₂(aq)

Sodium is alkali metal and have one valance electron. It loses one electron and show +1 charge. While all halogen elements need one electron to complete the octet and show -1 charge.

That's why one halogen atom is combine with one sodium atom to make overall compound neutral.
