Answer:

Copper monobromide.

Step-by-step explanation:

To name the compound, we shall determine the oxidation number of copper in CuBr. This can be obtained as follow:

Br = –1

Cu =?

CuBr = 0

Cu + (–1) = 0

Cu – 1 = 0

Collect like terms

Cu = 0 + 1

Cu = +1

Thus, oxidation number of copper in CuBr is +1.

Therefore, the name of the compound is copper (I) bromide or copper monobromide
