The dictionary definition of a NET IONIC EQUATION is: species participating in the reaction. **
 * Chemical equation for a reaction which lists only those

MY definition for a NET IONIC EQUATION is:
 * An equation that shows only the reactants that change in a chemical reaction. **

**There are different types of equations and the differences should help you better understand. ** Click here to see a crazy, fun diagram about Net Ionic Equations!

=__ MOLECULAR IONIC EQUATION! __=

= K2CrO4 (aq) + BaCl2 (aq) → BaCrO4 (s) + KCl (aq) = = = This equation shows the __state__ but the ionic compounds are still shown together instead of broken down.
 * This type of equation does not show **charge.

= = =__COMPLETE NET IONIC EQUATION! __= = = = K+ + CrO4²- + Ba²+ + Cl- **→** BaCrO4 (s) + K+ + Cl- =

A **complete net ionic equation** shows the reactants that are dissolved in water (aq) as free ions that show all charges. Everything that is aqueous is shown as separated ions. They are broken down. K2CrO4 now becomes K+ and Cl-.
 * See the** charges?
