Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Elements Involved

The compound is formed between sodium (Na) and bromine (Br). Sodium is a metal, and bromine is a non-metal.

Step 2: Determine the Charges of the Ions

Sodium (Na) is in Group 1 of the periodic table and typically forms a cation with a charge of \(+1\), denoted as \( \text{Na}^+ \). Bromine (Br) is in Group 17 and typically forms an anion with a charge of \(-1\), denoted as \( \text{Br}^- \).

Step 3: Combine the Ions to Form a Neutral Compound

To form a neutral compound, the charges of the ions must balance. Since sodium has a \(+1\) charge and bromine has a \(-1\) charge, one sodium ion will combine with one bromine ion to form a neutral compound.

Final Answer

The chemical formula for the compound formed between sodium and bromine is \(\boxed{\text{NaBr}}\).
