All acids must be **aqueous**.
A **binary acid** consists of hydrogen atoms bonded to exactly one other non-metal element **dissolved in water**. It is written as the non-metal element prefixed by "hydro-" and suffixed with "-ic acid". If the compound begins with a hydrogen atom but *is not aqueous*, it is a binary covalent molecule.

- $\text{HCl}_\text{(aq)}$: hydrochloric acid
- $\text{HCl}$: hydrogen chloride
- $\text{H}_2{S}_\text{(aq)}$: hydrosulfuric acid
- $\text{H}_2\text{S}_\text{(aq)}$: hydrosulfuric acid
An **oxyacid** consists of a polyatomic ion bonded to hydrogen ions equal to its charge. It is written as the oxyacid with "-ate" replaced with "-ic", "-ite" replaced with "-ous", and with the suffix "acid".
An **oxyacid** consists of a polyatomic ion bonded to hydrogen ions equal to its charge. As their chemical structure can only exist while aqueous, $\text{(aq)}$ is not required. Oxyacids are written as per their polyatomic ion with "-ate" replaced with "-ic", "-ite" replaced with "-ous", and with the suffix "acid".
