4 0

Answer:

Sodium ions - Na⁺ - cation

Potassium ions - K⁺ cation

Chloride ions - Cl⁻ anion

Magnesium ions - Mg²⁺ cation

Calcium ions - Ca²⁺ cation

Phosphate ions - P³⁻ anion

Iron ions - Fe²⁺ cation

Zinc ions - Zn⁺ cation

Explanation:

Following is a list of 8 common but essential ions in the cells and fluids of human bodies:

1. Sodium ions helps in regulation and control the level of body fluids

2. Potassium ions help regulate cellular functions

3. Calcium ions are essential for building and maintaining strength bones and teeth. and have role in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and the transmission of nerve signals to cells.

4. Chloride ions are the main anions found outside body cells. They acts as counterions

5. Magnesium ions  present in the bones

6. Phosphate ions present in body fluids act as the counterions.

7. Iron

8. Zinc

Answer: D is the correct answer

Explanation: When there is no insulator surrounding a metal wire then there is nothing to stop the electrons from flowing outside of the wire, This means that anything the wire comes in contact with could get shocked or burnt when there is a current flowing through the wire.
