- Determine the state of each substance (gas, liquid, solid, aqueous). Use the solubility rules to determine which of the ionic compounds are soluble in water. Soluble ionics are identified with an (aq), insoluble ones with an (s). Most elements and covalent compounds (covalent compounds are formed when two or more nonmetallic elements are bonded to each other) are insoluble in water and should be shown with an (s), (l) or (g).

How do you determine the correct subscripts in a chemical formula? Explain in detail... Explanation: To determine the correct subscripts in a chemical formula, you have to solve how many atoms you need to balance the charge. For example if I had the compound Calcium Fluoride I would look at the periodic table and see that Calcium's ionic formula is #Ca^(2+)#.
