  1. Writing Formulas Chapter 6 (Chapter 9)

  2. Rules for Writing Chemical Formulas Name does NOT begin with a metal Name begins with a metal (Ammonium acts like a metal) Ends with –ATE/-ITE ‘ACID’ in the name No ACID in Name Ends with -IDE • ) Write the metal symbol/charge • ) Write the non metal symbol/charge • 3) Add subscripts if necessary to make it neutral (criss-cross) • ) Write the metal symbol/charge • ) Write the polyatomic ion/charge • 3) Add subscripts/parenthesis if necessary to make it neutral (criss-cross) • ) Write each element symbol [NO CHARGES USED HERE] [NO Polyatomic IONS HERE] • 2) The Prefix IS the subscript • (mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, nona, deca) ‘HYDRO’ in front No ‘HYDRO’ in front Name ends with -IC Name ends with - OUS • ) Write H+1 • ) Write non metal symbol/charge • ) Add subscripts if necessary to make it neutral (criss-cross) Classic Names: add –OUS for lower charge/ -IC for higher charge to these roots 1) Write H+1 2)Write Polyatomic ion that ends with -ATE 3) Add subscripts if needed to make it neutral 1) Write H+1 2)Write Polyatomic ion that ends with -ITE 3) Add subscripts if needed to make it neutral

  3. All molecules have a neutral charge Subscripts are used when individual charges are not the same Parenthesis are used ONLY WITH POLYATOMIC IONS that need a subscript to make it neutral Two non metals have prefixes to indicate their subscripts The charges of representative elements are known to be: Rules for Writing Chemical Formulas
