There's a bit of a misunderstanding in the question. Sodium compounds don't "make" bromine. Bromine is a chemical element, and it exists as a pure substance.

Here's the breakdown:

* Sodium is a chemical element, represented by the symbol Na.

* Bromine is a chemical element, represented by the symbol Br.

What you might be thinking about is how bromine is obtained. Bromine is typically extracted from bromide salts, which are compounds containing bromine and other elements. One common bromide salt is sodium bromide (NaBr).

To obtain bromine from sodium bromide, you need to perform a chemical reaction. This often involves oxidizing the bromide ions (Br-) using chlorine gas, which results in the formation of bromine gas (Br2).

So, while sodium bromide contains bromine, it doesn't "make" bromine itself. It's just a source from which bromine can be extracted.
