When the name of the anion (X) ends in –ide, the name begins with hydro-, then the stem of the anion, then the name ends with –ic acid instead of -ide.
When the name of the ion ends in –ite, then the name would be the stem of the anion and the suffix –ous acid instead of –ite.
When the name of the ion ends in –ate, then the name would be the stem of the anion and the suffix –ic acid instead of-ate.
