Hello Student Si is tetravelent while Br is monovalent so the compound formed would be SiBr4 Al is trivelent while S is bivalent so the compound formed would be Si2S3

From Electronic Configuration you can find Si is Tetravalent and Br is Monovalent.Now Exchange Their valencies with each Other.Now the result is SiBr4.For Al and S do same thing find their valence and exchange with each other You will see It is Al2S3
