The advantages: it's quicker, and that's how scientists do it
Disadvantages? Not sure, because very few people outside of maybe a junior-high Introduction to Physical Sciences class would write one using words at all. Which would be better:
with words: sodium hydroxide reacted with hydrochloric acid gives table salt and water
with symbols and formulas: NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O
You DO have to know what the formulas mean, but that's why you're in science class!
Well chemical equations can help us understand how a certain substance is made and what combines with what to make it using symbol and word equations but if you dont know your elements it can be a problem
formulas
1. The representation of chemicals in chemical equations is made by formulas.2. The word code has another sense in chemistry; as an example, the digital code of the American Chemical Society - Chemical Abstract Service (CAS No).
All chemical compounds will have a chemical formula. For instance, the calcium chloride has formula CaCl2. Elements, on the other hand, have chemical symbols. Chemical reactions can be represented by chemical equations.
Now more than 65 000 000 000 chemical compounds are known.
Skeleton equations do not show the relative amounts of reactants and products (are "unbalanced"). Balanced equations do show the relative amounts of the reactants and products.
formulas
Chemical equations provide the formulas of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. They usually do not provide structure unless supplemented with chemical structures.
because yes!
formulas
Chemicals equations use chemical formulas and other symbols instead of words to summarize a reaction.

Yes, the two are synonyms.

Chemical bonds are broken and formed.The totall mass of all reagenta is the same as the mass of the reactionproduct.
Now more than 65 000 000 000 chemical compounds are known.
