Explain why element symbols appear on both sides of a chemical equation?
The arrow sign means what ever is on the left side must be on the right side, but it does not have to be in the same form.
Ex.
2 KI + Pb( NO3)2 = 2 KNO3 + PbI2
On the left side K is bonded to I, and Pb is bonded to NO3. On the right side K is bonded to NO3, and Pb is bonded to I..
It is represented by element symbols, like using Na to refer to sodium.
A chemical equation is a shorthand description of a chemical reaction.
A chemical equation represents a complete chemical reaction. It includes chemical formulas and symbols for reactants and products, as well as coefficients to balance the equation.
The numbers of atoms of each elemental type, as represented by their element symbols, will always be the same on both sides of a balanced chemical equation.
All of the symbols used in chemical equations are up on the Periodic Table.
Metalloids are chemical elements; they have not a chemical equation. They have chemical symbols as B, As, Ge, Te, Si, Sb.
A chemical equation is defined as the short-hand representation of a true chemical reaction with the help of symbols and formula.We must finish our chemical reaction with as many atoms of each element as when we started.The chemical reaction takes place on the reactant side forming the products.
A chemical reaction can be represented by a chemical equation.
it must be cleared that while writing a chemical equation... it must be in symbols of that element then the numbers of the atoms used in the reaction must be equated to both the sides that is it must be equal to right hand side as well as left hand side... we need to remember the symbols of that element
Chemical symbols represent chemical elements.
Writing a chemical reaction with symbols: Ex.: NaCl + AgNO3 = AgCl (s) + NaNO3 A mathematical (digital) system for the writing of chemical equations exist but it is rarely used.
This representation is a chemical equation.
