Whats the net ionic and total ionic equations? include the ions and states pls: NiCl2 + Na2CO3 = 2NaCl + NiCO3

Total ionic equation = Ni²⁺ + 2Cl⁻¹ + 2Na⁺ + CO₃⁻² → 2Na⁺ + 2Cl⁻¹ + NiCO₃ (s)

Net ionic equation = Ni²⁺ + CO₃⁻² → NiCO₃ (s)

NiCl₂ (aq) + Na₂CO₃ (aq) → 2NaCl (aq) + NiCO₃ (s)

First, we'll need to expand the complete chemical equation into a total ionic equation (to determine whether a chemical is aqueous or solid, use a solubility chart until the rules are memorized).

Ni²⁺ + 2Cl⁻¹ + 2Na⁺ + CO₃⁻² → 2Na⁺ + 2Cl⁻¹ + NiCO₃ (s)

Now, using the total ionic equation, we can find the net ionic equation. In order to do this, we need to cancel out the aqueous solutions that don't form into solids, as they are extraneous.

Ni²⁺ + 2Cl⁻¹ + 2Na⁺ + CO₃⁻² → 2Na⁺ + 2Cl⁻¹ + NiCO₃ (s)

Ni²⁺ + CO₃⁻² → NiCO₃ (s)

I hope this helped!

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
