Binary acid
Binary acids or Hydracids are certain molecular compounds in which hydrogen is combined with a second nonmetallic element. [citation needed]
Examples:
Their strengths depend on the solvation of the initial acid, the H-X bond energy, the electron affinity energy of X, and the solvation energy of X.[citation needed] Observed trends in acidity correlate with bond energies, the weaker the H-X bond, the stronger the acid. For example, there is a weak bond between hydrogen and iodine in hydroiodic acid, making it a very strong acid.[citation needed]
Binary acids are one of two classes of acids, the second being the oxyacids, which consist of a hydrogen, oxygen, and some other element.[dubious ][citation needed]
The names of binary acids begin with hydro- followed by the name of the other element modified to end with -ic. [citation needed]
Some texts contrast two types of acids. 1. binary acids or hydracids and 2. oxyacids that contain oxygen.[dubious ][citation needed]
