2. Definition compounds made up of two elements
one is hydrogen and the other a non-metal
Formula : HX (aq)
Aq means it’s a solution or dissolves in water.
The weaker the HX bond, the stronger acid it is

3. Fact
The most common binary acids are between hydrogen and halogen elements

4. Writing the Chemical Name
Write the prefix “hydro”
Then take the root of the name for the second element
End the first word of the compound name in “ic”
Follow this with the word “acid”
Hydro Stem of X ic acid

5. Hydriodic acid *o of the prefix is dropped
Examples
HF(aq)
Hydrofluoric acid
HI(aq)
Hydriodic acid *o of the prefix is dropped
H2Se(aq)
Hydroselenic acid

6. Writing the Chemical Formula
The hydro in the name stands for the Hydrogen (H)
Get your second element symbol from the next part of the name where it’s suffix is located
If it is not a halogen check the charge for the amount of hydrogens needed

7. Examples Hydrobromic acid Hydro(H) Bromic(Br) acid HBr (aq)
Hydrochloric acid
Hydro(H) Chloric(Cl) acid
HCl (aq)
Hydrosulfuric acid
Hydro(H) Sulfuric(S) acid
H2S (aq)
