Acids - formed when a compund composed of HYDROGEN ions and a negatively charged ions are dissolved in water which is also called aqueous.
                           - Ions seperate when dissolved in water. Ions with H₂O to form
                           - H⁺ ions with H₂O to form H₃O⁺(H(YDRONIUM ion)

Naming The Acids (Simple Acids)
1. Use "hydro" as the beginning
2. Last syllable of the non-metal is dropeed and replaced with "-ic"
3. Add "acid" at the end

Examples.
HI(aq) - hydroiodic acid
HCl(aq) - hydrochloric acid
H₂S - hydrosulphuric acid
