What is Net Ionic Equation?

A net ionic equation shows only the species that actually participate in an ionic reaction, omitting the spectator ions (ions present in solution that do not change). For example, the reaction between sodium chloride and silver nitrate in aqueous solution has the net ionic equation: Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → AgCl(s). Net ionic equations highlight the essential chemistry of a reaction.
