CATEGORY ： Science 10 Chemical Equntions to describe reactions 2007/02/05 Mon TB ： CM ： 0 △

-We can use a word equation to get us started on things but it is not practical for us scientifically since it doesn't tell us any details.
Hydrogen+Oxygen→water

-The next step is to form a skeletom equation which summarizes a reaction on symbolic form.

H₂+O₂→H₂O

-The final result we are looking for is a balanced equation that means we end with the some number of atoms as we started with.

2H₂+O₂→2H₂O
