Q

steps in writing and balancing a chemical equation

A
  1. Write the correct formulas for the reactants and products
  2. Start with the more complex parts first
  3. Balance elements one at a time by placing the smallest possible whole number. H and O are the last to be balanced
  4. A balanced equation should have the same number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation
  5. Polyatomic ions or radicals are balanced as a group
