Question

differentiate between a balanced and skeletal chemical equation​

Answer 1

skeletal chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction using chemical formula of reactants and products and it is unbalanced

eg- Mg+2Hcl-MgCl2+H2.

•in balanced chemical equation the no of atoms of each element on both the side of the equation are equal.

eg- Mg+2HCL- MgCl2+H2.

Answer 2

The chemical equation in which number of atoms are not equal on both sides is called a skeletal chemical equation.

Ex : Mg +O2------->MgO

A balanced chemical equation is that in which the total number of atoms of each element are equal on both sides of the equation is called balanced chemical equation.

Ex:2Mg+ O2------->2MgO
