stem of non-metal
hydro

• HF ?
• HCl ?
• H2S ?

hydrofluoric acid
hydrochloric acid
hydrosulfic acid
3
Naming Ternary Acids

• name derived from polyatomic anion (see Table E)

4
HNO2

• Table E NO2 -1 is nitrite ion
• replace ite with ous , add acid
• HNO2 becomes nitrous acid

5
HNO3

• Table E NO3 -1 is nitrate ion
• replace ate with ic , add acid
• HNO3 becomes nitric acid

6
Ternary Acids

• polyatomics with S and P, make stem long again
• H3PO4 phosphoric acid, not phosphic acid
• H2SO4 sulfuric acid, not sulfic acid
• H2SO3 sulfurous acid, not sulfous acid
• SEE TABLE K
