Acidic Anions

[Carly Yoon]

Are HSO4- and H2PO4- the only cases of acidic anions?

[Hayden Jackson]

For this class those are the 2 that we will likely see the most, however both of these are acidic anions because they a polyprotic acids which give off multiple H+ protons, so if we apply this concept broadly, any polyprotic acid, which there are more than just these 2 because there a more anions that can bind multiple H+, can form acidic anions because after it donates at least 1 of its H+'s, it becomes negative but is still an acid. Hope this helps!
