Learn the list of chemical formulas Online

Chemical Formula exist for both organic and inorganic compounds.  Inorganic compounds are normally compounds without carbon hydrogen bond where as organic compound contains carbon. 
The naming for organic compound has been given by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
But some of the organic compounds are still known by their  common names:

Chemical Formula exist for both organic and inorganic compounds.  Inorganic compounds are normally compounds without carbon hydrogen bond where as organic compound contains carbon. 
The naming for organic compound has been given by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry IUPAC names.

But some of the organic compounds are still known by their  common names
Inorganic compounds except for few rules they are called by common name.  Names can also be broadly classified according to the nature of bonding.  For example ionic compounds are name differently than covalent compounds.

Inorganic compound (ionic) generally follow a general convention in naming.  Except for water all other inorganic compound follow the convention.  The convention is that the cation is name the first like metal and then the anion.
Normally cation whether it is metal or nonmetal is name as such like Sodium,  Potassium, Calcium etc.
