Answer: (2) $KOH$

Explanation: When an acid reacts with the base then it undergoes neutralization to form a salt and water.

An acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydrogen ion and have pH less than 7.

$HX\rightarrow H^++X^-$

A base is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion and has pH more than 7.

$MOH\rightarrow M^++OH^-$

Thus $KOH$ being a base can be a reactant in neutralization reaction.

$NaCl$ being a salt can be a product in a neutralization reaction.

I believe that this atom is chlorine and the atom has an overall charge of zero.
Chlorine is chemical element which is atomic number 17 in the periodic table. Each chlorine atom has 17 protons (positively charged) in the nucleus balanced by 17 electrons (negatively charged) in the energy shells ( thus an overall charge of zero)

Crazy boy [7]

<span>Each atom in an ionic compound tends either to empty or complete the shell to 8 electrons. So when the number of electrons on the external shell is near 8 , the atom tends to attract electrons to complete the shell giving a positive ion called anion
Conversely when the number of electrons is small the atom gives these electrons to form a positive ion called a cation</span>
