What IS a chemical reaction? Our episode starts with differentiating between physical (1:08) and chemical changes (1:47). To represent chemical reactions, chemists use three different types of chemical equations: Molecular equations that show neutral compounds (4:50), complete ionic equations that show soluble ionic compounds as free floating ions (5:30) and net ionic equations (NIE) (6:30). NIEs remove the spectator ions and show only the ions that are reacting. Tip: Don’t forget your coefficients! (7:10).Question:(8:17) What type of covalently bonded molecules are often represented in ionic form when dissolved in water?Thank you for listening to The APsolute RecAP: Chemistry Edition!(AP is a registered trademark of the College Board and is not affiliated with The APsolute RecAP.
