For the following problems: identify the type of reaction, predict the products, and balance the final equation.
Keep in mind when predicting:
a. Final compounds should be electrically neutral. Use crossover rule with charges (when ionic) to determine subscripts. Use criss-cross rule with valence bonds (when covalent) to determine subscripts.
b. Write Metal Cation first then Nonmetal Anion.
c. Write nonmetals from their places on the periodic table, left to right.
d. Subscripts do NOT automatically transfer from reactants to products, unless it is a polyatomic.
e. Diatomic elements: H, N, 0, F, CI, Br, I
PLS HELP!
