How do you find the net ionic equation?

We did a lab where we combined liquids and looked for precipitates and now we are required to write the Net ionic equation for each of them that had a precipitate. Problem is, i don’t get how… He explained it in class in a ton of different ways, but i never kept up with him.

I need someone to explain every step in finding the net ionic equation…
One of the questions i have to do is Pb(NO3)2 (Lead (II) nitrate) and Na2CO3 (Sodium Carbonate).

Many thanks ahead of time!

You should see a precipitate form when you combine lead (II) nitrate and sodium carbonate. Lead (II) carbonate will form, while the sodium and nitrate ions will remain in solution.

Pb2+ + CO3^2- –> PbCO3(s)
