The anion for chlorous acid is chlorite, which has the chemical formula ClO₂⁻. Chlorous acid itself is represented as HClO₂, and when it donates a proton (H⁺), it forms the chlorite ion.
The acid formed by the chlorite ion (ClO₂⁻) is called chlorous acid. Its chemical formula is HClO₂. When chlorite ions react with hydrogen ions, they produce chlorous acid in solution.
If the name of the acid ends in the letters "ic" and the acid contains oxygen, the name of the anion formed from it replaces the "ic" with "ate". If the name of the acid ends in the letters "ous" and the acid contains oxygen, the name of the anion formed from it replaces the "ous" with "ite." If the name of acid ends in the letters "ic" and the acid does not contain oxygen, the name of the anion formed by the acid changes "ic" to "ide", and if the name of the acid begin with "hydro", these letters are deleted from the name of the anion.
