Best Answer

This is phosphorous bromide. "P" is the chemical symbol for phosphorous, a nonmetal with 5 valence electrons. "Br" is the chemical symbol for bromine, a halide nonmetal with 7 valence electrons. When a halide nonmetal is incorporated into a compound, the last three letters of the chemical name are changed from "ine" to "ide" to show the molecule is chemically bonded.
