H2 SO4 (Sulfuric acid) - HMnO4 (Permanganic acid) - HNO2 (Nitrous acid) HClO4 (Perchloric acid) - H2 SO3 (Sulphurous acid) - H2CrO4 (Chromic acid)  H2CO3 (Carbonic acid) - HClO3 (Chloric acid) - H3BO3 (boric acid) - HClO2 (Chlorous acid) H3PO4 (Phosphoric acid)  HNO3 (Nitric acid) - HClO (Hypochlorous acid) - CH3 COOH (acetic acid) - H2S2O3 (Thiosulfuric acid)- H2C2O4 (oxalic acid)

Explanation:

To name the ternary acid, they have to obbey the following formula

Hx - Non metal - Oy

where the oxidation state in H and O are +1 y -2 respectively.

When the oxidation state of the central Non metal is odd, the atomicity of H is 1 and in the O is deduced in such a way that the sum of oxidation states is 0.

When the oxidation state of the central No metal is even, the atomicity of H is 2 and in the O is deduced in such a way that the sum of oxidation states is 0.

The  oxalic acid is an organic compound of two carboxyl groups, so it is also called ethanedioc acid; It is actually known as oxalic by some plants of the genus oxalis. (prefix et (2 carbons))

The acetic acid that comprises a carboxylic group and a methyl group is also an organic compound. It is popularly known as acetic acid but it is actually called methylcarboxylic acid or having two carbons, ethanoic acid.
