An oxyacid is composed of hydrogen, oxygen, and another element (usually a nonmetal). The name of an oxyacid depends on the oxidation state of the central nonmetal element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For acids containing bromine, the naming follows this pattern:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the bromine is in the highest oxidation state (+7), the acid is called <strong>perbromic acid<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the oxidation state of bromine is +5, the acid is called <strong>bromic acid<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the oxidation state of bromine is +3, the acid is called <strong>bromous acid<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the oxidation state of bromine is +1, the acid is called <strong>hydrobromic acid<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of <strong>HBrO4<\/strong>, bromine is in the +7 oxidation state, which means this acid is <strong>perbromic acid<\/strong>. The &#8220;per-&#8221; prefix is used to indicate the highest oxidation state of the halogen in the acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, HBrO4 has the highest oxidation state of bromine (+7), and the naming rule dictates that it should be called <strong>perbromic acid<\/strong>. Other options, like hydrobromic acid (which corresponds to a bromine oxidation state of +1) or bromic acid (oxidation state of +5), do not apply in this case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The correct name for HBrO4 is __.
