What is differernce between oxoacids and oxyacids?
« on: September 21, 2012, 05:09:35 AM »
I have been seeing these terms throughout my inorganic studying , but in my text they speak like oxoacids of a particular element and its properties , sometimes its oxyacids of some elements .But they have not explained what both oxoacids and oxyacids are and what their difference is . i found out  what oxoacids is :

An oxoacid is an acid that contains oxygen. To be more specific, it is an acid that:
contains oxygen
contains at least one other element
has at least one hydrogen atom bound to oxygen
forms an ion by the loss of one or more protons.[1]

can anyone help me in oxyacids and what is the difference btween oxoacid and oxyacids ?
