Refer to the explanation.

Explanation:

Molecular Equation

"AgNO"_3("aq") + "NaCl(aq)"rarr"AgCl(s) + NaNO"_3("aq")

Complete Ionic Equation

Breaks the soluble (aqueous) ionic compounds into their individual ions, and leaves the solid (insoluble) compound intact. Includes spectator ions that do not participate in the reaction, ("Na"^(+)") and ("Cl"^(-)").

"Ag"^+("aq") + "NO"_3^(-)("aq") + "Na"^+("aq") + "Cl"^(-)("aq")rarr"AgCl(s) + Na"^(+)("aq") + "NO"_3^(-)("aq")"

Net Ionic Equation

Remove the spectator ions so that only the ions that reacted are present.

"Ag"^+("aq") + "Cl"^(-)("aq")rarr"AgCl(s)"
