Naming Acids

The most fundamental definition of an acid is an anion combined with H+ to form a neutral compound.
All acids begin with a H⁺  and are combined with one of the three types of anions.

            -ide             to            hydro----ic acid                        H2S          hydrosulfuric acid

            -ate             to                        -ic acid                        H2SO4      sulfuric acid
