The chemical name for SBr2 is sulfur dibromide. This compound consists of one sulfur atom bonded to two bromine atoms.
In sulfur dibromide, the sulfur atom takes on a +2 oxidation state, while each bromine atom has a -1 oxidation state. The molecular formula indicates that there is a central sulfur atom surrounded by two bromine atoms, and the structure is bent due to the lone pairs of electrons on the sulfur atom.
Understanding the naming of such compounds follows the conventions set by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry), which dictates that the element with the lower electronegativity is named first (sulfur) followed by the more electronegative element (bromine), with a prefix indicating the number of atoms (di- for two). So, SBr2 is named sulfur dibromide.
