What are the reactants of a neutralization reaction? metal and nonmetal water and salt two ionic compounds acid and Base
Acid and Base the 4th option because, on the pH scale the acid and base meet at the middle and become neutral.
On addition to water the Na+ section of NaCl is attracted to the oxygen side of the water molecules, while the Cl- side is attracted to the hydrogen's side of the water molecule. This causes the sodium chloride to split in water, and the NaCl dissolves into separate Na+ and Cl- atoms.(Long story short one becomes positive the other negative)
When a non- metal and metal combine (to my knowledge) forms a metalloid.
I have no idea what ionic compounds are so like wrong answer(?) XD
The answer is acid and base
I hope I helped
P.S. I know you didn't read all of that don't say you did) XD
Answer: The reactants of a neutralization reaction are acid and base.
Explanation: A neutralization reaction involves the combination of acid and base as reactants to give salt and water as products.
\(HCl +NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_2O\)
It is called as neutralization as the products formed are neither acidic nor basic. \(H^+\) ions from acid are neutralized by \(OH^-\) ions from base to form salt and water.
Metal and non metal combine to form ionic compounds.
