Term

 

If the Acid has the

same # of Oxygen atoms

as the "ic" Acid

 

Example: Chloric Acid - HClO3

Definition

 

 

Acid: "x-ic acid" and the Anion: "x-ate ion"

  

Using Chlorine as example:

Acid: "chloric acid" Anion: "chlorate ion"

Term

 

If the Acid has

one more Oxygen atom

than the "ic" Acid

 

Example: with Chloric Acid being HClO3

 if the formula is something like: HClO4

Definition

 

 

Acid: "per-x-ic acid"    Anion: "per-x-ate ion"

  

Using Chlorine as example:

Acid: "perchloric acid"    Anion: "perchlorate ion"

Term

 

If the Acid has

one less Oxygen atom

than the "ic" Acid

 

Example: with Chloric Acid being HClO3

 if the formula is something like: HClO2

Definition

 

 

  Acid: "x-ous acid"   Anion: "x-ite ion"

  

Using Chlorine as example:

Acid: "chlorous acid"   Anion: "chlorite ion

Term

 

If the Acid has

two less Oxygen atoms

than the "ic" Acid

 

Example: with Chloric Acid being HClO3

 if the formula is something like: HClO

Definition

 

 

  Acid: "hypo-x-ous acid"   Anion: "hypo-x-ite ion"

  

Using Chlorine as example:

Acid: "hypochlorous acid"   Anion: "hypochlorite ion

Term

 

If the Acid has

NO Oxygen atom

at all

 

Example: with Chloric Acid being HClO3

 if the formula is something like: HCl

Definition

 

 

Acid: "hydro-x-ic acid"    Anion: "x-ide ion"

  

Using Chlorine as example:

Acid: "hydrochloric acid"    Anion: "chloride ion

Term
