The video tutorial explains how to name acids, categorizing them into binary and ternary acids. Binary acids consist of hydrogen and another element, while ternary acids include hydrogen, oxygen, and another element. The tutorial provides examples of each type and details the naming conventions. Binary acids use the prefix 'hydro-' and the suffix '-ic,' while ternary acids involve recognizing polyatomic ions and modifying their names. The video also highlights the importance of solubility in water for naming acids, distinguishing between gaseous and aqueous forms.
