Rules for Parentheses are used only when the following two condition are met: 1. There is a radical (polyatomic ion) present and… 2. There are two or more of that radical in the formula. Examples: Na. NO 31 - is a radical, but there is only one of it. Co(NO 3)2 NO 31 - is a radical and there are two of them (NH 4)2 SO 4 NH 41+ is a radical and there are two of them; SO 42 - is a radical but there is only one of it. Co(OH)2 OH 1 - is a radical and there are two of it. Al 2(CO 3)3 CO 32 - is a radical and there are three of them. Na. OH OH 1 - is a radical but there is only one of it.
