    Bromine Oxidation State in NaBr: A Clear Explanation
    The oxidation state of bromine in NaBr is -1.

    Here's why:

    * Sodium (Na) is an alkali metal and always has an oxidation state of +1 in its compounds.

    * Compounds must have a neutral overall charge.

    * To balance the +1 charge of sodium, the bromine (Br) must have an oxidation state of -1.
