Question

Acids containing polyatomic ions are named according to the name of the anion.​ true or false

Answer 1

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Names for such acids consist of the prefix “hydro-“, the first syllable of the anion, and the suffix “-ic”. Complex acid compounds have oxygen in them. For an acid with a polyatomic ion, the suffix “-ate” from the ion is replaced with “-ic.”
