The product  formed from the reaction between  pyridine and ethyl bromide

The product formed from the reaction between pyridine and ethyl bromide is a quarternary ammonium salt which is shown below:

Desired product

This is an ionic compound havingBr−and nitrogen as positive charge. This is known asquaternary salt because the nitrogen atom has four bonds even though it can have only three bonds. Thus, the nitrogen has a positive charge.
