Answer:

D. They have the same number of protons as electrons.

Explanation:

Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive charge while electrons orbit around the nucleus and have a negative charge. Usually, in a neutral atom of an element, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is why the atom has no charge because the positive and negative charges cancel out. When an atom loses an electron its charge turns positive while when it gains an electron its charge turns negative.

clacium hydroxide is slightly soluable in water about 1 gram will dissolve in 1 liter what are the spectator ions in the reactio
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Ca²⁺ and Cl⁻

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, spectator ions are ions that <em>are not involved in the reaction</em>, that means are the same before and after the reaction.

In water, calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)₂ is dissociated in Ca²⁺ and OH⁻. Also, hydrochloric acid, HCl, dissociates in H⁺ and Cl⁻. The reaction is:

Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻ + 2H⁺ + 2Cl⁻ → 2H₂O + Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

<em>The ions that react are H⁺ and OH⁻ (Acid and base producing water)</em>

<em />

And the ions that are not reacting, <em>spectator ions</em>, are:

<h3>Ca²⁺ and Cl⁻</h3>
