Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Most ternary (three-element) acids are oxoacids. Such acids contain hydrogen, oxygen, and one other element usually a nonmetal which occupies a central position. Some typical examples are
`underset("Carbonic acid")(H-O-overset(O)overset(||)C-O-H)underset("Nitrous acid")(H-ON=O)underset("Nitric acid")(H-O-overset(O)overset(||)N-O)`
Thsu, oxacids are hydroxyl compounds of nometals that ionize to produce `H^(+)(aq.)`. As we can see from the above examples, oxiacids are characterized by the presence of one or more `O-H` bonds.
