The molecular equation is
2NaOH(aq) + Zn(NO_3)_2(aq) → Zn(OH)^2(s) + 2NaNO_3(aq)
The net ionic equation will not include the spectator ions it will only includes the other ions
So first let us consider the balanced ionic reaction
2Na^+  + 2OH^-(aq) + Zn^+2 + 2NO3^-1 (aq) → Zn(OH)_2(s) + 2Na^+ + 2NO3-(aq)
spectator ions are
Na+ Â and NO3^-
So net ionic equation will be
2OH^- (aq) + Zn^+2  → Zn(OH)_2(s)
Explanation:
The given molecular equation:
[tex]2NaOH(aq)+Zn(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)[/tex]
The sodium hydroxide will give sodium ion and hydroxide in their aqueous solution.
[tex]NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)[/tex]
The zinc nitrate will zinc ion and nitrate ions in their aqueous solution.
[tex]Zn(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+2NO_{3}^{-}(aq)[/tex]
So the molecular equation can be rewrite as:
[tex]2Na^+(aq)+2OH^-(aq)+Zn^{2+}(aq)+2NO_{3}^{-}(aq)\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2(s)+2Na^+(aq)+2NO_{3}^{-}(aq)[/tex]
Spectator ions will get cancelled out from the the sides and the net ionic equation comes out to be:
[tex]Zn^{2+}(aq)+2OH{-}(aq)\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2(s)[/tex]
