I have no clue how to do the double displacement method thing so if anyone wants to help me that would be great :-)
The question is:
Write the complete ionic equation for the double displacement reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of barium nitrate, Ba(NO3)2 and sodium chromate (Na2CrO4) are mixed.
I didn't understand it when we did it in class and when I went to her for help she refused to help me

First of all, double replacement not double displacement.
Ba(NO3)2 + Na2CrO4 => NaNO3 + BaCrO4 I believe.. Then cancel spectator ions then you got your net ionic equation.

You forgot to balance it, but the method is correct. There should be a two in front of NaNO3

Correct, I accidentally oversaw that ;)

Thanks. And it can be called double displacement. Its either or.

Since nitrates and alkali metals are always soluble, the reactants should have been broken up into ions.
Ba 2+ + NO3 - + Na + + CrO4 2-
Then switch the ions over, hence double replacement, to get
Ba 2+ + CrO4 2- + Na + + NO3 -
BaCrO4 is insoluble, so it should be written as BaCrO4 (s) while NaNO3 is soluble, so it should still be written as two ions in the product side as Na + and NO3 -. Since Na + and NO3 - appear on both sides of the equation, you can cancel them out and the final complete ion reaction is
Ba 2+ + CrO4 2- --> BaCrO4 (s)
