Step 4: AlCl 3 Example: Aluminum Chloride Criss-Cross Rule Aluminum Chloride Step 1: write out name with space Al Cl 3+ 1- Step 2: write symbols & charge of elements Al Cl Step 3: 1 3 criss-cross charges as subsrcipts combine as formula unit (“1” is never shown)
Example: Aluminum Chloride Criss-Cross Rule Step 1: Aluminum Chloride Step 2: Al3+ Cl1- Step 3: Al Cl 1 3 Step 4: AlCl 3
Example: Aluminum Oxide Criss-Cross Rule Step 1: Aluminum Oxide Step 2: Al3+ O2- Step 3: Al O 2 3 Step 4: Al2O3
Example: Magnesium Oxide Criss-Cross Rule Step 1: Magnesium Oxide Step 2: Mg2+ O2- Step 3: Mg O 2 2 Step 4: Mg2O2 Step 5: MgO

Rules for Parentheses Parentheses are used only when the following two condition are met: • There is a radical (polyatomic ion) present and… • There are two or more of that radical in the formula. Examples: NaNO3NO31- is a radical, but there is only one of it. Co(NO3)2NO31- is a radical and there are two of them (NH4)2SO4NH41+ is a radical and there are two of them; SO42- is a radical but there is only one of it. Co(OH)2OH1- is a radical and there are two of it. Al2(CO3)3CO32- is a radical and there are three of them. NaOH OH1- is a radical but there is only one of it.
