Nomenclature #2

I learned how to tell if a compound is an acid. You have to look at the cation position, if the cation is a hydrogen, the compound is an acid. Acids are hydrogen ion producers, and all acids have H+. If it does not contain oxygen, it gets the prefix hyrdo. For example, HBr would be named as Hydrobromic acid.
