Difference in Acidity and Alkalinity between Tetrabromotungsten and Tungsten Dibromide

There are some differences between tungsten tetrabromide (WBr4) and tungsten dibromide (WBr2) in terms of acidity and alkalinity:

Tungsten tetrabromide (WBr4): Due to the presence of four bromine atoms in tetrabromotungsten, these bromine atoms may react with water molecules to form hydrobromic acid (HBr) and the corresponding tungsten oxide. This makes tetrabromotungsten react acidically in water. Therefore, it can be said that tetrabromotungsten has certain acidic properties.

Tungsten bromide (WBr2): Unlike tetrabromotungsten, tungsten bromide has only two bromine atoms. In water, tungsten dibromide does not produce hydrobromic acid directly, so its acidity and alkalinity are weak. However, due to the high electronegativity of tungsten atoms, tungsten dibromide is somewhat electrophilic and may participate in other chemical reactions and exhibit certain acidic or basic characteristics.
