molecular equation
an equation showing the complete neutral formula for each compound in a reaction
e.g. Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2KCl(aq) → PbCl₂(s) + 2KNO₃(aq)
complete ionic equation
an equation that lists individually all of the ions present as either reactants or products in a chemical reaction
Pb²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) → PbCl₂(s) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻
true
(true/false) Strong electrolytes are represented as their component ions in ionic equations.
false
(true/false) Weak electrolytes are represented as their component ions in ionic equations.
spectator ions
ions in a complete ionic equation that do not participate in the reaction and therefore remain in solution

net ionic equations
an equation that shows only the species that actually change during the reaction
