Naming acids
Acids nomenclature
How to recognize an acid
*You can recognize an acid by the fact that it's formula starts with H
- HCl -HNO3 -H2SO4
Some acids formula don't start with H
*H2O is not considered an acid
Recognize polyatomic ions
1)Example ClO
Hypochlorite ( "ite" suffix is changed to "ous" and you ass the word acid)
2)
3)
Binary acids
1) prefix "hydro" is used
2) root of the anion is used
3) suffix "ic" is used
4) the word "acid" is used as the second word in the name
