Using the trend for chlorine, create a rule for naming halogen oxyacids.

Can anyone help me please?

all oxayacids have cations so no need to name the cation (H+) If name of polyatomic anion ends in -ate change to -ic for acid and if it ends with -ite change to -ous for acid

example:

ion nitrate is called nitric acid
ion nitrate is called nitrous acid
