Question

Statement: Acids containing hydrogen and a non-metallic element other than oxygen are hydroacids.

State whether the given statement is true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

They are compounds formed by hydrogen and a nonmetal, a chalcogen (group 16) or halogen (group 17), in which the hydrogen has an oxidation number +1.

In these compounds, hydrogen is written to the left of the nonmetal. For e.g. HCl, $H_{2}S{O}_4$ etc.

Hence, the given statement is $true$
