It is known
that acids compounds contains hydrogen and produces hydrogen ion in water. A binary
acid however is an acid that have two elements, one of the element has a
hydrogen attached to it. Examples of binary acids are hydrogen fluoride (HF),
hydrogen bromide (HBr) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In naming a binary acid, it
has two rules; one, as pure compounds and two, as acid solutions. For pure
compounds, start with the name ‘hydrogen’ and end the anion name with ‘-ide’. For
acidic compounds, start with ‘hydro-‘, end the anion with ‘-ic’ and add ‘acid’.
