Solution
Write the formula of
| Potassium permanganate | Symbol | valency |
| Potassium | \[\ce{K}\] | \[\ce{1^+}\] |
| permanganate | \[\ce{MnO4}\] | \[\ce{1^-}\] |
Step I – Write each symbol with its valency.
Positive ion is written first
\[\ce{K}^{1+}\] \[\ce{[MnO4]}^{1-}\]
Step II – Interchange the valencies and ignoring the (+) and (−) signs.
The Formula is \[\ce{KMnO4}\]
