= Ionic Equations =
Chemical equations that show each substance as it exists in a [[solution]]
* Unionized equation
- Compounds in the equation are written in molecular or normal form
* Total ionic equation
- Compounds written in ionic form or true form in solution
* Net ionic equation
- Only the species that are involed in the reaction are shown
* Spectator ions
- Ions not directly involved in the reaction, yet are still present
== Rules for writing euqations ==
1) Ionic compounds (acids bases and salts) that are shown as (aq) are written
in ionic form
2) Covalent compunds are free eleemnts are never written in ionic form
3) Net ionic equations only show substances undergoing change
4) Equations must be balanced
