    NaOBr (or) Na⁺ ⁻OBr

    Explanation:

    The Oxo-Acids of Bromine are as follow,

    Hypobromous Acid = HOBr

    Bromous Acid = HOBrO

    Bromic Acid = HBrO₃

    Perbromic Acid = HBrO₄

    When these acids are converted to their conjugate bases their names are as follow,

    Hypobromite = ⁻OBr

    Bromite = ⁻OBrO

    Bromate = ⁻OBrO₂

    Perbromate = ⁻OBrO₃

    According to rules, the positive part of ionic compound is named first and the negative part is named second. So, Sodium Hypobromite has a chemical formula of Na⁺ ⁻OBr or NaOBr.
