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)"#
