7.7 Writing <strong>Chemical</strong> Equations for <strong>Reaction</strong>s in Solution:<br />
Molecular and Complete Ionic Equations<br />
• A molecular equation is an equation showing the complete<br />
neutral formulas for every compound in the reaction.<br />
• Complete ionic equations show aqueous ionic compounds<br />
that normally dissociate in solution as they are actually<br />
present in solution.<br />
• When writing complete ionic equations, separate only<br />
aqueous ionic compounds into their constituent ions.<br />
• Do NOT separate solid, liquid, or gaseous compounds.
