Correctly order the steps followed in writing the formula of an ionic compound containing a polyatomic ion. Place these in the proper order. Add subscripts to indicate how many of each ion will be present in the formula. If more than one unit of a polyatomic ion is needed, place parentheses around the polyatomic ion. Determine how many of each ion type is needed to make a neutral compound. Identify the formulas and charges of the cation and anion. Place the cation first in the formula, followed by the anion.
