Formulas always begin with a ?
H
Binary Acid
Contain a hydrogen and a nonmetal
Non Binary Acid
Contain a hydrogen and a polyatomic group
How to Name Binary Acid
H₂S
First add (Hydro)
Then add second element prefix (Sulfur)
Then add ( ic ) to the end (Sulfuric)
Then add ( Acid to the end)
= Hydrosulfuric Acid
How to Name Binary Acid
HCl
First add (Hydro)
Then prefix second element (Chlor)
Add ( ic ) (Chloric)
Add ( acid to end)
= Hydrochloric Acid
How to Name Binary Acid
HF
First (Hydro)
Then prefix second name (Fluor)
Add ( ic ) (Flouric)
Add ( acid ) to the end
= Hydroflouric Acid
How to name Non binary acid
HMnO₄
First add name of polyatomic group ( Permanganate )
If it is a (ate) ending replace with ( ic )
(Permanganic)
add ( acid )
= Permanganic Acid
Non Binary Acids
Replace ( ate ) with ?
ic
Non Binary Acids
Replace ( ite ) with ?
ous
How to name Non binary acid
HNO₂
First add polyatomic group (Nitrite)
Remove ( ite ) replace with ( ous ) (Nitrous)
Add (acid)
= Nitrous Acid
How to name Non binary acid
HCIO₃
First name polyatomic group ( Chlorate )
Replace (ate) with (ic) ( Chloric)
Add (acid)
= Chloric Acid
How to name Non binary acid
H₂CrO₄
Name polyatomic group (Chromate)
Then replace (ate) with (ic) (Chromic)
Add (acid)
= Chromic Acid
