CHEMDUNN is moving and getting a facelift. Pack up your stuff and we'll see you at the new place!
Acids that do NOT contain oxygen:
hydro______ic acid
The acid name comes from the root name of the anion name. The prefix hydro- and the suffix -ic are then added to the root name of the anion.
Acid that DO contain oxygen (oxyacids):
______ic acid or _______ous acid or hypo ______ous acid
⚠️ You need to know your polyatomic ions well. See list here for reference.
Suffixes are used based on the ending of the original name of the oxyanion. If the name of the polyatomic anion ends with: -ate, change it to -ic for the acid
-ite, change it to -ous in the acid … if contains 1 fewer oxygen than “-ate” ion
-ite, change to hypo___ous acid … if contains 2 fewer oxygen than “-ate” ion
HNO3, which contains the polyatomic ion nitrate, is called nitric acid. HNO2, which contains the polyatomic ion nitrite, is called nitrous acid.
