Answer 2

Beryllium bromide

Step-by-step explanation:

There exists 2 elements in the question

Beryllium Be with valence of +2, and it's a metal

Bromine Br with a valence of -1, and is a non - metal.

Both of them combine together forming an ionic bond:

Be + Br(2) -> BeBr(2)

In naming the compound, we would say that since the first is a metal, beryllium, and the second being a halogen, bromine. We name it by calling the first name together with the last name and changing the last name of the non metal from -ine to -ide.

So we have, Beryllium Bromide.
