The number of each type of atom on each side of the reaction equation must be the same. Take the equation and add numbers in front of each compound, multiplying the atoms in the compound by that number, like the distributive property in algebra. These numbers are added so that the numbers of each type of atom on both sides are equivalent.

What is ionic?

Ionic equations are a special type of chemical equations that demonstrate the changes in oxidation numbers in particular ions.


What is the difference between conventional equations and complete ionic equations?

Conventional equations show the overall reactants and products of a chemical reaction, using formulas without detailing the ionic species involved. In contrast, complete ionic equations break down soluble ionic compounds into their individual ions, illustrating all species present in the solution. This allows for a clearer understanding of the actual chemical species participating in the reaction, particularly in aqueous solutions. Ultimately, complete ionic equations can reveal spectator ions that do not participate in the reaction, which are omitted in conventional equations.


What are the differences between ionic equation and molecular equation?

In a molecular equation, all reactants and products are written as complete formulas, while in an ionic equation, only ions that participate in the reaction are written. Ionic equations focus on the dissociation of ionic compounds into their constituent ions, whereas molecular equations do not show this dissociation. Ionic equations provide a more accurate representation of the species involved in a reaction in solution compared to molecular equations.


How do you balance equations without having to do it manually?

Automatically. What type of equations.


Why are coefficient used to balance equations?

Coefficients are used to balance equations because if you change the subscript, than you would change the substance.


How do you write complete ionic equations?

To write a complete ionic equation, first write the balanced molecular equation. Then, break down all strong electrolytes into their respective ions. Include only the ions that participate in the reaction, and balance the charges on both sides of the equation.

Compare and contrast chemical and ionic equations?

Unbalanced equation is calles skeletal equation. The difference between these equations is that the skeleton equation doesnot show the no. of atoms and molecules in the equation whereas the balanced chemical equation shows. Also the balanced chemical equation shows that the products and the reactants are solid, liquid, gas or aqueous.


Is it true that net ionic equations include those substances directly involved in the reaction?

Yes, it is true. But in my opinion these equations have no sense manner.
