CRISS -CROSS METHOD
1. The symbols of the component radicals of the compound are written side by side.
2. Positive radicals are written left and negative radicals on the right.
3. The valencies of the radicals are written above the respective symbols.
4. The criss-cross method is applied to exchange the numerical value of valency of each radical and it is written as subscript of the other radical.
5. The radical is enclosed in a bracket and the subscript is placed outside the lower right corner.
6. The common factor is removed.
7. If the subscript of the radical is one, it is omitted.
