27Writing Formulas
• Because compounds are electrically
neutral, one can determine the formula
of a binary compound this way:
– The charge on the cation becomes the
subscript on the anion.
– The charge on the anion becomes the
subscript on the cation.
– If these subscripts are not in the lowest
whole-number ratio, divide them by the
greatest common factor.
