Ionic Equations: Flashcards
1
Q
What do ionic equations ONLY show?
A
= reacting particles
= products formed
2
Q
What are spectator ions?
A
= present in reaction
= does not get involved
= crossed off
3
Q
What happens to the ions of a reaction in a solution?
A
= dissolves and breaks up the ions in the solutions
= we write this by balacing the equation, seperating the ions and crossing out the ions that apepar on borth sides
= we do not seperate the ions of a solid liquid or gas product
