We note that there are two types of metals, those that have only 1 charge (Type 1), and those that can have more than one stable charge. To name acids, the prefix hydro- is placed in front of the nonmetal modified to end with ic. Chemical Structure Of Citric Acid And Maletic Acid Download Scientific Diagram The structure of citric acid is shown below. To counterbalance the -3 charge, the charge of the Co ions must be +3. Silver (Group 1B) forms a [+1] cation like the 1A alkali metals.

That is, does it have ionic bonds, or covalent bonds? By adding oxygens to the molecule in number 9, we now have H3PO4?
