Hello!
The ions that are present in solution are Ni⁺²(aq) and Cl⁻(aq)
Why?
When an ionic substance like Nickel Chloride (NiCl₂) dissolves in water, it dissociates into the individual ions that form the substance. Water molecules surround then the individual ions in a process called solvation.
It can be represented in the following chemical equation:
NiCl₂(s) → Ni⁺²(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)
Have a nice day!
