State

A molecular equation writes every reactant and product as a complete neutral formula, not as separated dissolved ions.

Show

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) is a molecular equation, written entirely in intact compound formulas.

Watch for

A molecular equation is a bookkeeping convenience, not a claim that dissolved NaCl exists as intact NaCl units.
