  6. Molecular formulas are also used as abbreviations for the names of compounds. The structural formula for a compound gives the same information as its molecular formula (the types and numbers of atoms in the molecule) but also shows how the atoms are connected in the molecule.

  7. Steps to writing chemical formulas. 1. Write the symbols. Most chemical compounds have two names. The first name is the cation (positive ion) and the second name is the anion (negative ion). In a binary compound, the first name will be a metal ion. The second name will be a nonmetal ion.
