Anion Exceptions

• Very few anions act as acids because it is more difficult for an anion to lose H+
• Exceptions are the anions: HSO4- and H2PO4-

The points above came from the notes. What are HSO4- and H2PO4- exceptions of and why are the considered exceptions?

Amphoteric simply means that the ion is able to act as both an acid and a base.

Re: Latin names
