How are chemical compounds named from their respective formulas?

There are a lot of ways! There is a system using Greek roots, that would make H2O dihydrogen monoxide, and there's the Stock system that gives us names like iron (II) sulfate. Various ions have their own names, SO4(2-) is sulfate, because it's got a sulfur and a certain number of oxygens as opposed to sulfite, SO3(-). Anything else you need to know?

Idon't know hope someone you
