net ionic equation
(noun)
a method or writing a precipitation reaction without spectator ions
Examples of net ionic equation in the following topics:
-
Precipitation Reactions
- This is known as the complete ionic equation:
- A final way to represent a precipitation reaction is known as the net ionic equation.
- Without the spectator ions, the reaction equation simplifies to the following:
- Distinguish ways to write precipitation reactions (complete ionic equation and net ionic equation) and use a solubility table to determine whether a precipitation reaction will occur
-
Molecular, Ionic, and Complete Ionic Equations
- Precipitation reactions can be written as molecular, ionic, or complete ionic equations.
- The resulting equation is known as the complete ionic equation, and it looks as follows:
- In this equation, every ion is written out on both sides.
- This can be simplified to the net or complete ionic equation, which is shown below:
- Recognize whether a chemical equation is written in molecular, ionic, or complete ionic form.
-
Types of Bonds
- Pure ionic bonding cannot exist: all ionic compounds have some degree of covalent bonding.
- Thus, an ionic bond is considered a bond where the ionic character is greater than the covalent character.
- Bonds with partially ionic and partially covalent character are called polar covalent bonds.
- If one atom has a higher electronegativity, the electrons will be drawn closer to the nucleus of that atom, resulting in a small net charge around each nucleus of the atoms in the molecule.
- A rule of thumb is that covalent compounds are more difficult to change than ionic compounds.
-
Naming Ionic Compounds
- An ionic compound is named first by its cation and then by its anion.
- In chemistry, an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together by ionic bonds.
- Positive to positive and negative to negative ionic bonds do not occur.
- Since the net charge of the ionic compound must be zero, the Cu ion has a 2+ charge.
- The Roman numerals in fact show the oxidation number, but in simple ionic compounds this will always be the same as the metal's ionic charge.
-
Ions and Ionic Bonds
- Ionic bonds are attractions between oppositely charged atoms or groups of atoms where electrons are donated and accepted.
- Now, because the number of electrons does not equal the number of protons, each ion has a net charge.
- This gives it a net charge of -1 since there are now more electrons than protons.
- Ionic bonds are formed between ions with opposite charges.
- In the formation of an ionic compound, metals lose electrons and nonmetals gain electrons to achieve an octet.
-
Lattice Energy
- Lattice energy is a measure of the bond strength in an ionic compound.
- Lattice energy is an estimate of the bond strength in ionic compounds.
- It is defined as the heat of formation for ions of opposite charge in the gas phase to combine into an ionic solid.
- Lattice energies are also important in predicting the solubility of ionic solids in H2O.
- Ionic compounds with smaller lattice energies tend to be more soluble in H2O.

Net Income
- Net income in accounting is an entity's income minus expenses for an accounting period.
- Net income in accounting is an entity's income minus expenses for an accounting period.
- Net income is a distinct accounting concept from profit.
- In contrast, net income is a precisely defined term in accounting.
- As profit and earnings are used synonymously for income (also depending on United Kingdom and U.S. usage), net earnings and net profit are commonly found as synonyms for net income.
-
First Condition
- The first condition of equilibrium is that the net force in all directions must be zero.
- This means that both the net force and the net torque on the object must be zero.
- Here we will discuss the first condition, that of zero net force.
- For example, the net external forces along the typical x- and y-axes are zero.
- There are horizontal and vertical forces, but the net external force in any direction is zero.
-
Ions
- Any atom or molecule with a net charge, either positive or negative, is known as an ion.
- Anions have more electrons than protons and so have a net negative charge.
- Cations have more protons than electrons and so have a net positive charge.

Salt Formation
- Because of their enhanced acidity, carboxylic acids react with bases to form ionic salts, as shown in the following equations.
- In the case of alkali metal hydroxides and simple amines (or ammonia) the resulting salts have pronounced ionic character and are usually soluble in water.
