State

A complete ionic equation rewrites every dissolved strong electrolyte as its separated ions, keeping solids and liquids whole.

Show

Silver nitrate and sodium chloride's equation expands to Ag+ + NO3− + Na+ + Cl− → AgCl(s) + Na+ + NO3−.

Watch for

Solid AgCl stays written as one formula here — it is not dissolved, so it is never split into separate ions.
