Before students get into balancing chemical equations, they need to know exactly what the equation is saying. The goal for this lesson is to have students interpret word (written) equations, and “translate” them into chemical equations! Before we move on with all of the complicated things that we can get from a chemical equation, students need to know how to read and write it!

In this lesson, students will write chemical formula equations from word equations and word problems. They will use states of matter symbols, arrows, and conditions symbols. Students will also be introduced to the seven diatomic elements, and learn how to identify them in a reaction, and properly write them in an equation. They will not be balancing these equations. That comes in the next lesson: Chemical Reactions: Balancing Chemical Equations

***THIS LESSON IS INCLUDED IN TWO DIFFERENT BUNDLES***
