A word equation is where you describe a reaction using the chemicals by their names
Eg. Hydrogen+Oxygen>Water
A formula/symbol equation is where you use each chemical's formula (which is a group of the elements it consists of)
Eg. H2+O2>H2O (you should use small letters for the numbers after the element)

What is the difference between a word equation a formula equation and a chamical equation?
A chemical formula is the way a particular chemical (element or compound) is represented using the letters given in the Periodic Table. For example, the chemical formula of oxygen is O2 and the chemical formula of caron dioxide is CO2A word equation describes a chemical reactionusing the names of chemicals only. For instance, the word equation for respiration is:glucose + oxygen => carbon dioxide + waterA formula equation also describes a chemical reaction, but uses chemical formulae instead of names and is balanced. An example of this would be methane burning in oxygen:CH4 + 2O2 => CO2 + 2H2O

Balancing the formula equation according to the law of conservation of mass. 4.) Count atoms to be sure that the equation is balanced.
What is a synonym for equation?
