1. LEARN THESE DIATOMIC MOLECULES: O 2 H 2 N 2 F 2 Cl 2 Br 2 I 2 2. The same number of atoms of each element appearing in reactants must appear in the.

1. LEARN THESE DIATOMIC MOLECULES: O2 H2 N2 F2 Cl2 Br2 I2 2. The same number of atoms of each element

appearing in reactants must appear in the products.

3. The subscripts of a formula cannot be changed to balance the equation. Each compound must retain its stableness via oxidation states.

4. Choose compound with greatest number of atoms first.

5. Balance by placing necessary coefficients in front of entire molecules. NO SUBSCRIPT CHANGES!

6. Be certain each side of equation has same number of atoms of each type.

7. Make sure coefficients are in lowest whole number ratios.

8. Polyatomic ions usually stay intact, but multiple polyatomic ions may be separated.

9. (aq.) stands for aqueous which is Latin for water solution:

(g) gas (l) liquid (s) solid (c) crystalline solid

means “yields” and shows direction of action

∆ above arrow shows heat has been added

shows reaction is reversible

MINOH: try Metals first, then Ions, then Nonmetals, and Oxygen, then Hydrogen last
