ACIDS: NAMING AND FORMULAS. BINARY ACIDS. Covalent bonds Composed of hydrogen and one other element – a nonmetal Formulas are written balancing charges like ionic compounds Ex. H 2 S NOTE: hydrogen will be the only one that gets a subscript

BINARY ACIDS • Covalent bonds • Composed of hydrogen and one other element – a nonmetal • Formulas are written balancing charges like ionic compounds Ex. H2S NOTE: hydrogen will be the only one that gets a subscript • Name begins with “hydro” and ends with “ic” Ex. Hydrosulfuric acid
TERNARY ACIDS • Composed of hydrogen and a polyatomic ion • As with binary acids, balance charges to write formulas • To name, use the name of the polyatomic ion with either an “ic” or “ous” ending • Dreaded chemistry disorder: “ATE IC ITE OUS” Change “ate” to “ic” and “ite” to “ous”
