The representation of a molecule in terms of the symbols of the constituting atoms is called its chemical formula.
Rules for building the formula for a compound:
1) Write side by side the symbols of the radicals involved, with their valencies at the top, the positive radical to the left & the negative radical to the right.
2) Remove the common factor, if any, to get a simple ratio of the valencies of combining radicals.
3) Criss cross the valencies i.e, shift the valencies cross wise to the lower right of radical.
