Is that ok to name anions that are left after removal of hydrogen acidic atoms as acid radicals?

No, they are not radicals but conjugated base (mostly anions) of that particular acid.

Can anions be classified as acidic or basic?
Anions of acids are (at least) basic(eg. CH3COO- + H+ --> CH3COOH)but some anions are amphoteric, so partially acidic and partially basic(eg. acidic: HS- --> S2- + H+ ,and basic: HS- + H+ --> H2S)
What substance dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions?
acids
What does acetic acid dissociate into?
Hydrogen cations and acetate anions.
What three hydrogen-containing polyatomic anions are essential components of living system?
comOxygen, carbon, and nitrogen are bonded to hydrogen to make the polyatomic anions that are essential components of living systems
Is potassium hydrogen tartrate an ionic or covalent compound?
Both: Potassium cations are ionically bonded to hydrogen tartrate anions, and the latter are covalently bonded internally.
What is meant by acidic radicals?
electronegative radicals are anions or acid radicals.

Why is sodium carbonate extract prepared in semi micro analysis?
(i) The preparation of sodium carbonate extract affords a convenient method for bringing the anions of the mixture into solution which were otherwise insoluble with caution of salt. (ii) It removes the basic radical (usually coloured) which interferes in the usual tests of some of the acidic radicals. (iii) The residue can be used for the tests of basic radicals of I to VI groups. Such a solution does not involve the problem of removing interfering radicals like oxalate, fluoride, borate and phosphate.
What kind ions separate from acids in solution?
hydrogen ions and anions.
What kind of ions separate from acid's in solution?
hydrogen ions and anions.
When an acid ionizes in water what happens to the number of hydrogen ions?
the number of hydrogen ions (charges) given by the acid will be the same as the anions
Is potassium hydrogen tartrate an ionic or covalent compound?
Both: Potassium cations are ionically bonded to hydrogen tartrate anions, and the latter are covalently bonded internally.
Why you add HCl in gravimetric analysis experiment?
To keep the pH of the solution with the sample slightly acidic to eliminate possible interference from anions of weak acids. The acidic wash is to maintain the electrolyte concentration that promotes coagulation.
Why is Na2CO3 alkaline in nature?
Because it contains sodium cations, which are strongly basic, and carbonate anions which are weakly acidic. So the basic ions win over acidic ions, making Na2CO3 alkaline(i.e. basic).
