can any one help mem figure out a simple way to figure them out with some notes or web examples

Hi Ciara, recently someone else also had a question about reactions.  The bad news is, about the only way to get comfortable with them is to do enough drill work remembering the ions and their charges, writing chemical formulas, and completing and balancing reactions, until it becomes "second nature".  This is from my previous message, but the practice exercises in the last link are pretty good, if you're looking for more practive outside of the exercises in your textbook:
 
 
"For writing chemical reactions, you'll want to have a table of common positive and negative ions handy, and for double displacement reactions, a list of solubility rules:
 

I need to search for some more introductory sites for writing and balancing reactions, but the following site has tutorials and lots of practice exercises, and other links:
http://www.dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/webdocs/Equations/Equations.html"
 
 
Hope this helps, and keep at it!
 
 
Steve
