Answer: The formula for tetracarbon difluorine octabromide is
C_4F_2Br_8

Step-by-step explanation:

The naming of covalent compound is given by:

The less electronegative element is written first.

The more electronegative element is written second. Then a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.

If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on.

Hence, the correct formula for tetracarbon difluorine octabromide is
C_4F_2Br_8
