Interpretation:
The chemical formulas and names of the binary acids and oxoacids that contain group VIIA elements (Halogen group), group IIIA elements (Boron group), IVA elements (Carbon group), group VA elements (Nitrogen group), and group VIA elements (Oxygen group) are to be written.
Concept introduction:
Acids are the compounds thatwhen dissolved in water produce hydrogen ions
There are two types of acids:
(a) Binary acids:These are the compounds where a hydrogen atom is combinedtoa nonmetallic element, such as Cl, Br, I, etc. For examples,
(b) Oxoacids: These are the compounds where a hydrogen atom is combined to oxygen and a nonmetal element. For examples,
