You might mean that one needs to be aware of the oxidation state of the anion. For instance, iron chloride exists as iron (II) chloride and as iron (III) chloride. The formula for the salt will obviously depend on which of these is intended.

What is the shorthand notation for a compound?
I suppose that you think to a chemical formula. Example: table salt (sodium chloride) has the chemical formula NaCl.
What is the formula for magnesium sulphite?
The chemical formula for magnesium sulfate is: MgSO4
When writing a chemical reaction for an exothermic process will the heat energy be reactant or product?
Heat will be on the product side of the equation, but it is not a "product" in the same sense as the chemical symbol(s) and/or formula(s) written on this side of the equation, because heat is not a tangible substance but rather an increase in the energy of nearby substances.
Which of the following are salts ch4 naf naoh baso4 nh3 kbr hno3?
CH4 an organic alkane. (Methane) NaF An inorganic salt ( Sodium fluoride) NaOH A soluble base / alkali ( Sodium hydroxide) BaSO4 An inorganic salt ) Barium sulphate) NH3 A basic gas ( Ammonia) KBr An inorganic salt (Potassium bromide) HNO3 A mineral acid (Nitric acid) NB When writing chemical formula remember single letter elements use CAPITAL letter. Two-letter elements have first letter as a capital and the second letter as small/lower case. This is standard world wide practice in order to avoid confusion over names.
Which goes first in writing a formula the cation or anion?
The cation. MgO, for instance.

What is a way of writing a compound's name using symbols?
A chemical formula... for those who don't already know...
What do you use to balance charges when writing a molecule's formula?
Because the chemical formula of the molecule must be neutral.
What is the chemical formula of gold III bromide?
The chemical formula of 3 gold atoms and one bromide atom could vary in writing. The word 'formula' could mean that it could be written to how it got to the result, or could be just the result. The most common formula writing for this is writing the 'G' with a small 3 next to the bottom right side of the 'G', and then adding a 'Br' after the 'G' with a small 3.
What a short easy way to show a chemical reaction using symbols?
Writing a chemical reaction with symbols: Ex.: NaCl + AgNO3 = AgCl (s) + NaNO3 A mathematical (digital) system for the writing of chemical equations exist but it is rarely used.
What does K2Co3 stand for?
The actual formula is K2CO3, capitalization matters when writing chemical formulas. K2CO3 is potassium carbonate.
What do the prefixes in a covalent compound name tell when writing the chemical formula?
it tells you the number of atoms of each element
Is a chemical formula a way of writing the name of a compound using chemical symbols?
Yes, a chemical formula is a way of representing the composition of a compound using chemical symbols and subscripts. It shows the types and number of atoms present in the compound. For example, the chemical formula of water is H2O, indicating that it is composed of two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom.
When writing a chemical formula the (what type of ion) gets written first.?
Cations are written first. For instance, NaCl or H2O.
What are the two essential writing for the army good writing?
The two essential requirements for good army writing are putting the main point at the beginning and using active voice.
What is the chemical symbol for heated water?
All forms of water are shown as H2O. To show the different states use (g) for gas, (s) for solid, and (l) for liquids. To show added heat, you can use the triangle or "delta" symbol. Just like when writing a balanced chemical equation.
