(Acids) If acid contains oxygen, change -ate of polyatomic anion to:
-ic (ex. sulfate : sulfuric acid)
(Acids) If acid contains oxygen, change -ite of polyatomic anion to:
-ous (ex. sulfite : sulfurous acid)
(Acids) If acid contains no oxygen, change the -ide mono/polyatomic anion to:
-ic, and add “hydro” to the beginning (ex. chloride: hydrochloric acid)
(Hydrates) Formula
ionic compound • prefix-hydrate
ex. Sodium sulfate decahydrate : Na₂SO₄ • 10 H₂O
