Best Answer

An oxy acid is an inorganic acid that contain at least one oxygen atom along with at least one atom other than oxygen in each anion formed when the acid donates a proton to another substance. The most common ones contain sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorus, or a halogen other than fluorine along with the oxygen, but there are also many that contain a transition metal ion such as chromium or manganese. Examples include sulfuric, sulfurous, phosphoric, phosphorous, nitric, perchloric, manganic, and chromic acids
