Study Notes
Binary Acids
- Binary acids consist of hydrogen and one nonmetal element, forming H+ ions in water.
- Example: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) contains hydrogen and chlorine.
Naming Rules for Binary Acids
- Use the prefix "hydro-" followed by the base name of the nonmetal and the suffix "-ic" (e.g., HCl is named "hydrochloric").
- The word "acid" is added after the name (e.g., "hydrochloric acid").
- Greek prefixes are not employed for atom counts in the compound's name (e.g., Na2O is simply "sodium oxide").
Oxyacids
- Oxyacids are formed from oxyanions, which contain oxygen.
- Example: Nitric acid (HNO3) comes from the nitrate ion (NO3-), while sulfuric acid (H2SO4) derives from the sulfate ion (SO42-).
- Structure involves hydrogen and an oxyanion.
Naming Rules for Oxyacids
- If the oxyanion's name ends with "-ate," the acid name is created by adding "-ic" to the base name (e.g., HNO3 is "nitric").
- For oxyanions ending with "-ite," use the base name and add "-ous" (e.g., HNO2 is "nitrous").
- Include the word "acid" in the name (e.g., "nitric acid").
- Greek prefixes are not used in naming.
