Calcium carbonate, a common material found in chalk and antacids, is shown decomposing in the balanced chemical equation below. Count the number of atoms on the reactant and product side of the equation. How many more atoms are in the products than the reactants?

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
