When naming compounds, follow these general rules: for ionic compounds, the metal name is written before the nonmetal name with an -ide ending (e.g. sodium chloride); for covalent compounds, use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms of each element (e.g. carbon dioxide). For writing chemical formulas, the element symbol is used with subscripts to indicate the number of atoms of each element present in the compound. Remember to balance the charges to ensure a neutral compound.

The chemical formula of ammonium sulfate is (NH4)2SO4.
A compound is a substance made up of a definite proportion of two or more elements. A chemical formula tells us the number of atoms of each element in a compound. It contains the symbols of the atoms of the elements present in the compound as well as how many there are for each element in the form of subscripts
The rules for naming chemical elements and for chemical symbols are established by IUPAC; see this link.
The internationally recognized rules for naming wild organisms are governed by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) for animals and the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) for plants and fungi. These codes establish guidelines for naming new species, assigning type specimens, and resolving naming conflicts to ensure consistency and stability in scientific nomenclature. Taxonomists must follow these rules to provide accurate and standardized names for wild organisms.

Compounds are recognized from their names by following naming conventions set by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The formula provides the specific elements present in the compound and their relative proportions. By understanding common naming rules and analyzing the formula, one can determine the identity of a compound.
2-ethylpropane is incorrect because the name does not follow the IUPAC rules for naming organic compounds. The correct name for the compound with the formula C7H16 would be 2-methylheptane.

It's just a naming convention. The rules of nomenclature were somewhat arbitrary at first. Then the need of standardization became apparent, and so formal naming rules came into play (sort of).
A standardized system composed of methods rules and guidelines for naming atoms ions and compounds is known as chemical nomenclature
