State Symbols in Chemical Equations | Properties of Matter | Chemistry | FuseSchool
In this video, we will look at the state symbols (s), (l), (g), and (aq) and what they represent in a chemical equation.
For equations to be complete, we must also include the state symbol for each reactant and product.
There are four possible states, each with their own unique state symbol.
Solid – represented by lower case s.
Liquid – represented by lower case l.
Gas – represented by lower case g.
Aqueous, or dissolved in water – represented by lower case aq.
This is written after each reactant or product in brackets and in subscript, meaning, a bit lower than the actual text.
State symbols represent the state of each reactant and each product in a reaction, and must be included in every chemical equation.
Our teachers and animators come together to make fun & easy-to-understand videos in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Maths & ICT.

Algebraic fractions are simply fractions with algebraic expressions either on the top, bottom or both. We treat them in the same way as we would numerical fractions. In part 1 we saw how to simplify, and add and subtract algebraic fractions. We discovered that algebraic fractions follow the same pri
Work through this practice GCSE / K12 question on atomic number, atomic mass and electronic configuration. Read the question, and hit pause if you want to try answering it yourself. Then hit play again to watch how the teacher solves it.

The study of finches led to the development of one of the most important scientific theories of all time.
In December 1831 a naturalist called Charles Darwin boarded the HMS Beagle, bound on a surveying voyage of South America. Whilst the ship and crew carried out coastline surveys, Darwin was fre
