Correct answer is magnesium bromide. This is an ionic compound with metal forming a positive ion - K+ and halogen forming a negative ion - Br-. When group 7 element form ions they have a suffix -ide. Bromine is the element and when it forms a negative ion bromine is called bromide with the suffix. Magnesium gives 2 electrons and bromine can take only 1 electron, therefore 2 bromine atoms are needed. Therefore magnesium forms ionic bonds with 2 bromine atoms. The compound is called magnesium bromide
