Oxygen acids nomenclature

The nomenclature rules to be presented follow in the main the 1957 report of the Committee on Inorganic Nomenclature of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. The discussion here will be brief, and the methods of nomenclature of heteropoly acids, intermetallic compounds, unusual oxygen acids, isotopically enriched compounds, and silane derivatives will not be described. 

Before discussing these rules, let us review the nomenclature of the oxygen acids. 

The Nomenclature of the Oxygen Acids. The common oxygen acid of each element is given a name obtained from the name of the element witli use of the ending... 

Berzehus (19) further appHed and amplified the nomenclature introduced by Guyton de Morveau and Lavoisier. It was he who divided the elements into metalloids (nonmetals) and metals according to their electrochemical character, and the compounds of oxygen with positive elements (metals) into suboxides, oxides, and peroxides. His division of the acids according to degree of oxidation has been Httie altered. He introduced the terms anhydride and amphoteric and designated the chlorides in a manner similar to that used for the oxides.
