A word equation is a chemical reaction described using words.
A common example is the act of photosynthesis - the process plants use to make glucose (sugar) to use as 'food'.
Plants convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
A word equation to express this is:
Water + Carbon Dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen
The other type of equation is a symbol equation - this uses the symbols of the elements instead of the common names:
H₂O + CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
There is also a balanced version:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Answer:
mass number = 18
Explanation:
The mass number is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom. Therefore, if there are 8 protons and 10 neutrons, the mass number is 18 (8 + 10 = 18).
Answer:
D
Explanation:
According to IUPAC nomenclature, a negative polyatomic ion has its name ending in 'ate' or 'ite'
As in carbonate (CO3^2-)
Arsenite (AsO3-)
It is a physical change because you can not put it back like it was
D.
The main properties of water are its polarity, cohesion, adhesion, surface tension, high specific heat, and evaporative cooling.
