Answer: Calcium Bromide

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The valency of Calcium (Ca) is +2 and valency of Bromine (Br) is -1.
  • When these two chemically combine with each other, Calcium Bromide (
    CaBr_2) is formed.
  • In order to form a neutral molecule,
    2 Br^- combines with one
    Ca^(2+).
  • So, the resulting chemical formula would be
    CaBr_2.
