[edit]Can someone spell out explicitly the distinction between hydracids, hydrohalic acids, and binary acids? And, in addition, make sure that the individual definitions (in the appropriate articles) are sharply enough formulated that the distinctions are already clear?
Examples: HF, HCl, HBr, HI, HCN, H_2S, H_2Te.
Is each of these an acid? What other acids are there that have no oxygen atom? Are there any acids that have an oxygen acid somewhere, but not attached to the hydrogen that can dissociate?
In light of my questions, are these (redundant) statements from the article really correct?
Binary Acids are one of two classes of acids, the second being the oxyacids, which consist of a hydrogen, oxygen, and some other element.[citation needed]
Some texts contrast two types of acids. 1. binary acids or hydracids and 2. oxyacids that contain oxygen.[citation needed]
