Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Which of the five memorized -ic acids serve as models for family relationships in the nomenclature of acids, and which stand alone is to be stated. For those that serve as models, the non-hydrogen, non-oxygen element or elements follow(s) the model of each model acid is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Widely, the number of each kind of atom which makes up the particle is called as the composition and it is denoted by the chemical formula. Besides, at normal temperature seven elements are found as two atoms. Physical observation tells us the acid is a substance having sour taste. Chemically, acid is a substance which is having a proton (H+ ion) and it can be detached by a water molecule when the acid meets water.
