Question

How can acids and bases be identified and named?

Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak\green{ANSWER }$

Acids are named based on their anion — the ion attached to the hydrogen. ...Names for such acids consist of the prefix “hydro-“, the first syllable of the anion, and the suffix “-ic”. Complexacid compounds have oxygen in them. For an acid with a polyatomic ion, the suffix “-ate” from the ion is replaced with “-ic.”
