Using the periodic table predict the formula of compound which might be formed by the following pair of elements: silicon and bromine

A

`SiBr_(2)`

B

`SiBr_(4)`

C

`Si_(2)Br_(8)^(4-)`

D

`Si_(3)Br_(8)^(2-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Br is more EN than Si and Br needs one electron to complete its octete while Si needs 4 hence the formula of compound will be `SiBr_(4)`.
