ACID/BASE Nomenclature
Binary Acids
Rule: 1. Add the prefix hydro to main element 2. Add suffix "-ic"
Ternary Acids
Rule: 1. No Prefix hydro 2. Add the suffix "-ous" if the polyanion is an "-ite" 3. Add the suffix "-ic" if the polyanion is an "-ate"
Notes on hypo & perall hypo-"polyanion"s become hypo-main element-ous. E. G. Hypochlorite ion becomes hypochlorous acid.
all per-"polyanion"s become per-main element-ice. G. Perchlorate ion becomes Perchloric acid.
