Question

What is the chemical formula for compounds containing one zinc atom for every two bromine atoms?

Answer 1

the chemical formula for compounds containing one zinc atom for every two bromine atoms are:

The given compound is composed of one zinc atom for every two bromine atoms. The subscript for zinc (Zn) is 1 for zinc atom and for bromine (Br) is 2 for bromine atom. Thus, the chemical formula is ZnBr_2.

Since among them Zinc is metal and Bromine is non-metal so transferring of valance electron has taken place.

Answer 2

The elements present in the compound is represented by the set of chemical symbols with subscripts where subscripts represents the number of atoms present in the compound, is known as chemical formula.

The chemical symbol for zinc is
`Zn` and for bromine is
`Br`.

The given compound is composed of one zinc atom for every two bromine atoms. The subscript for zinc (
`Zn`) is 1 for zinc atom and for bromine (
`Br`) is 2 for bromine atom. Thus, the chemical formula is
`ZnBr_2`.

Hence, chemical formula for compounds containing one zinc atom for every two bromine atoms is
`ZnBr_2`.
