In other words, ionic equations are those equations represented in such a way that spectator ions are not included in the final equation. Spectator ions refer to those ions, which do not change during the reaction i.e. they do not take part in a chemical reaction. In order to be able to derive an ionic equation from a molecular equation, one must be acquainted with the solubility rules as outlined below: All sodium, potassium and ammonium salts are soluble. All nitrates, chlorinates and acetates are soluble. All binary compounds of the halogens (other than F) with metals are soluble, except those of silver, copper, lead and mercury (
