Abstract

Spectator ions are ions that are present during the reaction but are unchanged by the reaction, and so are present in the same state on both sides of the equation. Compare the reactant and product sides of the rewritten reaction and cross out the spectator ions. Any dissolved ions that appear in the same form on both sides are spectator ions. If we compare the solutions before and after the reaction, sodium and nitrate ions are present in both solutions. They do not undergo any chemical change at all. These ions are called spectator ions since they don't participate in the chemical reaction at all. The hydrogen and hydroxide ions react to form water, but the sodium and chlorine ions stay in solution unchanged. They are spectator ions because they did not take part in the chemical reaction.To find the formula of an ionic compound, first identify the cation and write down its symbol and charge. Then, identify the anion and write down its symbol and charge. Finally, combine the two ions to form an electrically neutral compound.
