Sodium Bromide
Sodium bromide is an inorganic compound and it has a highly volatile solid crystalline. It has been looks lika a sodium chloride. This salt is usually mainly used in the drug and alcohol industry. It is used as the catalyst of tempo mediated oxidation reactions. It can be accomplished by treating an aqueous solution of sodium bromide. This has consists of more stable ionic bond structure. Sodium is highly reactive material which is highly unstable in the structure. The systematic IUPAC name is known as sodium bromide. The chemical or molecular formula of acetamide is NaBr.
Structural Formula
This is the structural formula of the sodium bromide:
Chemical Formula
The chemical formula of the sodium bromide is NaBr.
Preparation Method
Sodium bromide can be prepared with the reacting of sodium sulphate and hydrogen bromide gives the results of sodium bromide and sulphuric acid. When the redox reaction is happening it brings down the state of sodium ion. One hydrogen atom is binds with the sulphuric acid that results in the oxidation process. It is more reactive metal ion that comprises the quality of covalent bond with highly recovered.

Chemical Properties
This sodium bromide has high boiling point and more hazardous substances. In organic synthesis it can be used to produce the other bromide compounds. It has a cumulative toxic with a relatively half long life. It looks like a more severe toxic substances compared to the other chemical compounds.
Uses
Sodium bromide is used in sedative like other bromides. It used for liberation of bromine due to germicidal properties. pharmaceutical preparation is a reagant it is used for sodium bromide and also used in antiseptic, detergent. It is mainly used in oil industry fir drilling in principal consumer. sodium bromide ointment is used for skin rashses.
