Naming Acids
2
Types of Compounds

• Acids -
• (Acids) have one or more H ions attached to an
  anion.
• The naming rules depend on whether the anion
  contains oxygen
• HF, HCl, H2S, HNO3, H2SO4, HC2H3O2
• Are all acids

3
Naming Acids

• Two ways to name acids
• Acids that do not contain oxygen
• Acids that do contain oxygen

4
Naming Acids

• Rules for naming acids
• Acids begin with hydrogen H.
• To name acids that do not contain oxygen, use
  hydro ______ ic acid.
• HBr begins with H and does not contain O
