For compounds with a polyatomic molecule, there are two methods to name the compound: the systematic method and the common method. In order to understand the difference between these two methods, it is important to note that some elements can have more than one type of charge. For example, ...
In this formula, we have 3 hydroxide ions. So, the total negative charge is -3. To form a neutral ionic compound, iron must have a charge of +3. So, the name for this metal is iron (III). 2) Now identify and name the nonmetal In this case, the nonmetal is the polyatomic ox...
