Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the elements in the compound CaCl2: calcium (Ca) and chlorine (Cl).
Recall that calcium is an alkaline earth metal, which typically forms a cation with a +2 charge, written as \(Ca^{2+}\).
Recognize that chlorine is a halogen, which typically forms an anion with a -1 charge, written as \(Cl^{-}\).
Since the formula is CaCl2, there are two chloride ions to balance the +2 charge of one calcium ion, ensuring the compound is electrically neutral.
Therefore, the ions present in CaCl2 are \(Ca^{2+}\) and \(Cl^{-}\).
