New cards

Acids that have only ONE HYDROGEN ATOM per molecule that can IONIZE are called

MONOPROTIC ACIDS

eg) HCl (aq) + H2O (l) → H3O (aq) + Cl (aq)

2
New cards

Acids that contain TWO OR MORE HYDROGEN ATOMS that can IONIZE are called

POLYPROTIC ACIDS

eg) H3PO4 (aq) + H2O (l) → H3O (aq) + H2PO4 (aq)

3
New cards

Bases that react with with water in ONLY ONE STEP to from hydroxide ions are called

MONOPROTIC BASES

eg) F- (aq) + H2O (l) → OH (aq) + HF (aq)

4
New cards

Bases that react with water in TWO OR MORE STEPS are called

POLYPROTIC BASES

(look at charges)

eg) CO3 2-
