One type of Ionic
Compounds –
Acids and Bases
Acids
All acids are formed by an
ionic bond between hydrogen
ion (metal) with an anion
(nonmetal) or a polyatomic
ion (nonmetal).
Acids
Case 1: Hydrogen ion + anion
HF (aq) (hydrofluoric acid): a
bond between H and F (metal
+ nonmetal)
HCl (aq) (hydrochloric acid): a
bond between H and Cl (Metal
+ nonmetal)
Oxy Acids
Case 2: Hydrogen ion +
polyatomic ion
HNO3: a bond between
Hydrogen ion and NO3- ion
H2SO4: a bond between
Hydrogen ion and SO42- ion.
Naming Oxy Acids
Name of an anion + -ic acid
HNO3
Nitrate Ion nitric acid
H2SO4
Sulfate Ion Sulfuric acid
For acids, when a single anion
is forming a bond with
hydrogen ion, name as
“hydro _____ ic Acid”
HF (aq) = hydroflouric acid
HCl (aq) = Hydrochloric acid
HBr (aq) = hydrobromic acid
H2S (aq) = hydrosulfuric acid
Bases
Ionic Bonds!
Metal ion + OH- (Nonmetal)
NaOH (aq)
Ca(OH)2 (aq)
Mg(OH)2 (aq)
Naming - Base
 Name of Metal + “Hydroxide”
 NaOH (aq) Sodium hydroxide
 Ca(OH)2 (aq) Calcium
hydroxide
 Mg(OH)2 (aq) Magnesium
hydroxide
