Question

Chemical reactions forming ions _____.

balance electrically
do not balance
electrically lose mass
do not react

Answer 1

Chemical reactions forming ions balance electrically.

Answer 2

The answer should be balance electrically

Chemical reactions that form ions should have a balanced charge. The example of the reaction is HCl. When forming ions, the equation should be:
HCl =>
`H^(+)` +
`Cl^(-)`
In this case, the hydrogen has one plus charge and chlorine has one negative charge. The resultant should be zero, so it's balanced.
