If the element has a charge of +2 it has lost two electrons giving it an overall positive charge making it a cation. In order to find the number of electrons, take the elements atomic number and subtract two since it lost two electrons
Answer:
Carbon is non metal because it is found in the right side of the periodic table while calcium is metal because it is found in the left side of the periodic table.
Answer:
Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + 2NH₄Cl (aq) → CaCl₂ (aq) + 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (l)
Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻ + 2NH₄⁺ + 2Cl⁻ → Ca⁺² + 2Cl⁻ + 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (l)
2OH⁻ + 2NH₄⁺ → 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (l)
