The chemical formula for mercury (II) bromide is HgBr2.

In this compound, mercury (Hg) has an oxidation state of +2, which is indicated by the Roman numeral (II) in the name. Bromine (Br) has an oxidation state of -1.

To balance the charges, we need two bromine atoms to balance the +2 charge of one mercury atom. Therefore, the chemical formula is HgBr2.
