Monobasic Acid/
Monoprotic Acid
An
monobasic acid is an acid which has only one hydrogen ion (H+cation
or a proton)
to be donated to a base during a neutralisation reaction.
Also known as a monoprotic acid, such an acid ionises in water to produce one hydrogen ion (H+cation or a proton).
Examples of monoprotic acids include
o hydrochloric acid HCl
o nitric acid HNO3
o ethanoic acid CH3COOH

diprotic / dibasic acids
triprotic / tribasic acid,
strong acids and
weak acids.
