How to write chemical formulas for compounds (Greek Numerals) ?

Friday, November 13th, 2009

How would I convert specific compounds into their formula and vice versa??
examples:
Dichlorine Heptaoxide (<-turned into formula)
P(4)S(3) (<-turned into compound)
I know how to convert it without using the Greek names, so the ‘Di’, ‘Hexi’ and ‘Tri’ are throwing me off.
