If the compound does not contain Oxygen:
hyro__(name of element)__ic
If it does contain Oxygen:
Ending is -ate changes to -ic
Ending is -ite changes to -ous
Ternary Acid Compounds
The compounds which are considered to be a ternary acid have both a hydrogen first in the formula and a polyatomic ion.
HxXmOn
The format for the name of this kind of compound is two words:
First word: derived from the name of the polyatomic ion which includes the stem of X with either an -ous or an -ic suffix. The prefix per- or hypo- may also be a part of this first word and depends on the ON of X,
and is followed by the word acid.
HIO3
iodic acid
The word hydrogen and the prefix hydro- are never used in naming ternary compounds. There is a periodic trend for the formulas of these acids.

Binary acids: hydrogen + nonmetal; hydrochloric acid (HCl), hydroiodic acid (HI), hydrofluoric acid (HF), hydrobromic acid (HBr), etc.
Ternary acids (oxoacids): hydrogen + oxygen + nonmetal; sulphuric acid (H2SO4), phosphoric acid (H3PO4), nitric acid (HNO3), perchloric acid (HClO4), etc.
I. IDENTIFYING THE ANION In order to name an acid, first remove the Hydrogen(s) (H) from the formula. Remember that all acid formulas are in the format H+ + Anion (Cation+ Anion). Anions will either end with the suffix "-ide", "-ite", or "-ate" (monatomic anions only end with "-ide", whereas polyatomic anions will end with any of those suffixes).
After removing all hydrogen atoms from the formula, now there is only the anion left. Identify the anion.
II. NAME THE ACID (Prefix [if applicable] + root + suffix)
The steps above were taken to identify the anion. Now that the anion has been identified, we can adjust the name of the anion to identify the acid's name.
- If the anion ends with the suffix "-ide", drop the "-ide" and add "-ic acid". Anions that end with the suffix "-ide" must have started with the prefix "hydro-". Add the prefix "hydro-" in front of the name.
- If the anion ends with the suffix "-ate", drop the suffix and add "-ic acid". Beware if there's Sulfur (S) or Phosphorus (P) in the anion, as they have stem changes; add the suffix "-ur" before the ending with S, and "-or" before the ending with P.
-If the anion ends with the suffix "-ite", drop the "-ite" and add "-ous acid"; add the suffix "-ur" or "-or" if there is S or P respectively before the ending.
Now for some examples.
Ex. Name HCl
H+ + Cl-
1. Remove the hydrogen atom; identify the remaining anion.
Result: Cl-, Chloride
2. Name the acid (remove the suffix, add appropriate ending and prefix [if applicable]).
Chloride --> Chlor --> Chloric acid --> Hydrochloric acid
Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
Ex. Name HNO3
H+ + NO3-
1. Remove the hydrogen atom; identify the remaining anion.
Result: NO3-, Nitrate
2. Name the acid (remove "-ate", add "-ic acid").
Nitrate --> Nit --> Nitric acid
Nitric acid (HNO3)
Ex. Name H3PO4
H+ + PO4-3
1. Remove the hydrogen atoms; identify the remaining anion.
Result: PO4-3, Phosphate
2. Name the acid (remove "-ate", add "-oric acid" to ending).
Phosphate --> Phosph --> Phosphoric acid
Phosphoric acid (H3PO4)
Ex. Name HNO2
H+ + NO2-
1. Remove the hydrogen atom; identify the remaining anion.
Result: NO2-, Nitrite
2. Name the acid (remove "-ite", add "-ous acid" to ending).
Nitrite --> Nit --> Nitrous acid
Nitrous Acid (HNO2)
Ex. Name H2SO3
H+ + SO3-2
1. Remove the hydrogen atom; identify the remaining anion.
Result: SO3-2, Sulfite
2. Name the acid (remove "-ite", add "-urous acid" to ending).
Sulfite --> Sul --> Sulfurous acid
Sulfurous acid (H2SO3)
Ex. Name H3PO3
H+ + PO3-3
1. Remove the hydrogen atoms; identify the remaining anion.
Result: Phosphite, PO3-3
2. Name the acid (remove "-ite", add "-orous acid" to ending).
Phosphite --> Phosph --> Phosphorous acid
Phosphorous acid (H3PO3)

There are lots of binary stars. Doing a search on "binary stars" should get you several. It seems that binary (or multiple) stars are about as common as single stars; at least, they are in the same order of magnitude.

First of all: oxoacids is preferred over oxyacidsBinary acids are certain molecular compounds in which hydrogen is combined with ONE second nonmetallic element. (They are also called hydracids)Examples: HF, HCl, HBr, HI, H2O, H2SThe names of binary acids begin with hydro- followed by the name of the other element modified to end with -ic (like in hydrochloric acid).Binary Acids are one of two classes of acids, the second being the Ternary Acids.The Ternary acids either consist of a hydrogen, oxygen, and one other nonmetal element, called the oxoacids (like HNO3) or hydrogen and two other nonmetal elements (like HCN).Answer:So:binary acids: hydrogen + one (nonmetallic) element (like HCl, H2S)andoxo-acids: hydrogen + oxygen + one (nonmetallic) element (like HNO3, H2CO3)
The names of binary acids do not begin with bi. The names of binary acids being with the "hydro" prefix, then the root of the nonmetal element, then they end with "ic".
