In word equation, you need to write the name of each compound, reactants and products. In this case, it is:

Word:

Aluminum + Copper (II) Chloride --> Copper + Aluminum

chloride

The skeleton equation you must put the formulas of the compounds written in word equation.

Skeleton:

Al(s) + CuCl2(aq) --> Cu(s) + AlCl3(aq)

Answer:

Word:

Aluminum + Copper (II) Chloride --> Copper + Aluminum

chloride

Skeleton:

Al(s) + CuCl2(aq) --> Cu(s) + AlCl3(aq)
