Naming Acids and Bases

The video tutorial covers the nomenclature of acids and bases, focusing on binary acids, polyatomic acids, and oxy acids. It explains the naming conventions for each type, including the use of prefixes like 'Hydro' and suffixes like 'IC' and 'OUS'. The tutorial also covers the naming of bases, emphasizing the role of hydroxide ions. Examples are provided to illustrate the naming rules, helping students understand the differences between binary and polyatomic acids, as well as the naming of bases.

What prefix is used in the naming of binary acids?

• Oxy

• Hydro

• Per

• Hypo

Which of the following is a characteristic of polyatomic acids?

• They contain only two types of atoms

• They always start with 'Hydro'

• They are derivatives of polyatomic ions

• They do not contain oxygen

What ending is used for acids derived from polyatomic ions with one less oxygen than the original?

• IC

• ITE

• OUS

• ATE

What is the name of the acid HNO3?
