HC₂H₃O₂

If we rewrite this compound, becomes CH₃COOH. This compound is called ethanoic acid. The cations and anions are


H^+,CH_3COO^-

The anion bonded to the hydrogen atom is called an ethanoate.

H₂SO₄

This compound is called tetraoxosulphate(vi) acid. The cations and anions here are


2H^+_{},SO^(2-)_4

The name of the anion is called sulphate ion.

H₂SO₃

This compound is called trioxosulphate(v) ion and the cations and anions here are


2H^+,SO^-_3

The name of the anion is sulphite ion

HClO₄

The name of the given compound is percholoric acid or chlorine oxoacid.

The cations and anions are
