The most used system in inorganic chemistry: first the cation, second the anion (for not simple problems read the manual Nomenclature in inorganic chemistry edited by IUPAC). In organic chemistry, with very long and complicate formulas, the rules are also more difficult. It is necessary to read the manual Nomenclature in organic chemistry edited by IUPAC.
I mention that in informatics the Hill system is used for chemical formulas.
