Interpretation: Assign the name of acids and bases on the basis of Acid base concepts.
Concept Introduction:
The naming of acids depends on their anion that is the ion attached to the hydrogen. Simple binary acids have one ion attached to hydrogen, the suffix hydro is used for such acids followed by name of anion and the suffix -ic.
In the complex acid compounds, oxygen is present. For polyatomic ion, the suffix -ate is replaced by -ic.
As in the typical polyatomic ion, if the number of oxygen atom is one extra, the prefix per and suffix -ic is used in naming.
Similarly, if the number of oxygen atom is one less than that in the typical polyatomic ion, the suffix -ous is used for two less oxygen atoms prefix hypo with suffix -ous is used.
In the strong bases, hydroxide groups are present, and they are named like ionic compounds. The naming of weak bases is like the molecular compounds.
