Question
What do you understand by skeletal equation?
✓

Answer

Skeleton Equations are the equations in which there is only chemical formula of reactants and products but no state mentioned and no balancing of atoms on either side of Equation done.

For example: $\text{Mg}\ +\ \text{O}_2\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{MgO}$

It's a skeleton equation.

Balanced Equation is like,

$2\text{Mg(s)}\ +\ \text{O}_2(\text{g})\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }2\text{MgO(s)}$
