    Google the chemical name and MSDS after it. Most MSDS sheets have a synonym section that contains the common names for the chemicals.

    Examples:

    Rubidium Bromide: hydrobromic acid rubidium salt

    Cesium Fluoride: Tetrafluorosilane

    A good way to show the difference between them is an example, so let's use Oxygen. Oxygen's chemical symbol is just O. It's name would simply be Oxygen. A chemical formula, in contrast to a symbol, is a combination of multiple elements, such as water's chemical formula is H2O, two particles of Hydrogen, one particle of Oxygen.
