General chemistry
Net chemical reaction
Chemistry; General chemistry
A reaction that actually occurs as several elementary steps . Equations for net reactions often omit intermediates and catalysts .
Alkaline earth
Chemistry; General chemistry
An oxide of an alkaline earth metal , which produces an alkaline solution in reaction with water.
Elementary reaction
Chemistry; General chemistry
A reaction that occurs in a single step. Equations for elementary reactions show the actual molecules, atoms, and ions that react on a molecular level.
Net ionic equation
Chemistry; General chemistry
A net ionic equation is an ionic equation with all DEFINE(spectator ions">spectator ions eliminated. For example, Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) = AgCl(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq) is an ionic ...
