2. A. NAMING IONIC COMPOUNDS WITHOUT A TRANSITION METAL
Ionic compounds are compounds involving metals. Transition metals on
the other hand are metals under Groups 3 through 12 in the periodic
table.
The following are the steps in writing the chemical formula of ionic
compounds without transition metals. Let us take AlCl3 as an example.
3. B. NAMING IONIC COMPOUNDS WITH TRANSITION METALS
Ionic compounds are compounds involving metals. Transition metals on
the other hand are metals under Groups 3 through 12 in the periodic table.
The following are the steps in writing the chemical formula of ionic
compounds with transition metals. Let us take MnO as an example.

5. C. NAMING COVALENT COMPOUNDS
Covalent compounds are usually formed by the combination of
nonmetals.
The following are the steps in writing the chemical formula of covalent
compounds. Let us take N2O5 as an example:
6. D. WRITING THE CHEMICAL FORMULA OF IONIC COMPOUNDS GIVEN
THE NAME OF THE COMPOUND
In writing the chemical formula of ionic compounds given the name of the
compound, we follow the following steps. Let us take calcium phosphide as
an example.
7. E. WRITING THE CHEMICAL FORMULA OF COVALENT COMPOUNDS
GIVEN THE NAME OF THE COMPOUND
In writing the chemical formula of covalent compounds given the name of
the compound, we follow the following steps. Let us take disilicon
hexabromide as an example.
