WRITING
Objectives:
1.write the chemical formula given
the chemical name; and
2.value the importance of writing
chemical formula in writing
chemical reactions.
I. Compounds of metals and nonmetals or
polyatomic ions
✓Place the oxidation number over the
respective symbol of the element or ion.
✓Transfer each number (omitting the sign) as
a subscript to the other symbol (Crisscross
Method). The subscript 1 is never shown in a
formula; it is implied if there is no subscript.
✓The symbol for the component that has the
positive oxidation number is written first.
✓Elements or polyatomic ions with
the same numerical oxidation
number combine in the ratio of 1:1
✓Polyatomic ions with subscript 2 or
more must be enclosed in
parenthesis. If subscript is 1, no need
to use parenthesis.
✓Whenever possible, reduce the
subscripts to simpler set of
subscripts.

Barium Hydroxide →
Stannic Sulfide →
Answers:

Name Chemical Formula

Calcium Chloride → Ca2+ Cl1- → CaCl2
Magnesium Oxide → Mg2+O2- → 𝑀𝑔2 𝑂2 → MgO
Aluminum Phosphate → Al3+(PO4)3- → Al3(PO4)3 → AlPO4
Barium Hydroxide → Ba2+(OH)1- → Ba(OH)2
Stannic Sulfide → Sn4+S2- → Sn2S4 → SnS2
II. Compounds of nonmetals (Molecular/Covalent)
➢ The prefix for each nonmetal represents the number
of atoms for that element and is shown as subscript
of the formula.
