Definition: Chemical equation for a reaction which lists only those species participating in the reaction.
Examples: The net ionic equation for the reaction that results from mixing 1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH is:
H+(aq) + OH-(aq) → H2O(l)
The Cl- and Na+ ions do not react and are not listed in the net ionic equation.
