Answer

Step 1 — Write each symbol with its valency

Na1+Br1\text{Na}^{1+} \phantom{\nearrow} \text{Br}^{1-}

Step 2 — Interchange the valencies

Na21  Br1Na11  Br1\overset{\phantom{2}{1}}{\text{Na}} \space {\searrow}\mathllap{\swarrow} \space \overset{1}{\text{Br}} \Rightarrow \underset{\phantom{1}{1}}{\text{Na}} \space {\searrow}\mathllap{\swarrow} \space \underset{1}{\text{Br}} \\[0.5em]

Step 3 — Write the interchanged number & hence the formula

Therefore, we get

Formula of Sodium bromide : NaBr\bold{NaBr}
