Chemical Formula Writing Worksheet Solutions
Write chemical formulas for the compounds in each box. The names are found
by finding the intersection between the cations and anions. Example: The first
box is the intersection between the “zinc” cation and the “chloride” anion, so you
should write “ZnCl2”, as shown.
zinc
iron (II)
iron (III)
gallium
silver
lead (IV)
