At least one H+ ion, called proton, and one anion which remains when the proton is donated to a base or to a water molecule: H3O+ (hydronium) is formed, lowering pH of the water.
The above isn't actually wrong, though it's worth noting that that's actually a description of a particular type of acid (an Arrhenius or possibly Brønsted-Lowry acid). Lewis acids use a more general definition and are not required to contain any particular ion... any electron pair acceptor is a Lewis acid. (All Lewis acids are Brønsted acids, but not all Brønsted acids are Lewis acids.)
Compounds with both ionic and covalent bonds contain polyatomic ions.
All acidic substances contain hydrogen. Not only this, but acidic substances must be able to "donate" a hydrogen ion (proton) to an aqueous solution. In case you needed to know, bases are the same, except instead of hydrogen, they have hydroxide (OH).
The negative ion
Yes, in fact an acidic solution is, by definition, one where the hydronium ion concentration is higher than the hydroxide ion concentration.
Electronegativity, the tendency of an atom to attract electrons, is the reason for this. Nonmetals are more electronegative than metals by such a degree that they are often able to completely pull away a metal's valence electrons.
Sulphate compounds are compounds that contain the sulfate ion, SO42-.
No. There are no known compounds containing anionic calcium. Most of the compounds of Ca contain the Ca2+ positive charged ion.
Compounds with both ionic and covalent bonds contain polyatomic ions.
Carbonated drinks are acidic and contain the ion carbonate (CO3)2-.
All acidic substances contain hydrogen. Not only this, but acidic substances must be able to "donate" a hydrogen ion (proton) to an aqueous solution. In case you needed to know, bases are the same, except instead of hydrogen, they have hydroxide (OH).
Chlorides are compounds that contain chlorine in the 1- oxidation state. The term usually refers to compounds with the Cl- ion such as sodium chloride. However it is sometimes applied to covalent compounds such as methyl chloride.
Salts are the products of a neutralization reaction; they contain a positive and negative ion.
hydrogen ion

Yes, in fact an acidic solution is, by definition, one where the hydronium ion concentration is higher than the hydroxide ion concentration.

The hydrogen attached to a saturated carbon atom containing strong electron withdrawing groups in acidic form reacts with base to generate carbanion .such compounds which contain acidic CH2 group are called active methylene compounds . eg:CH3-CO-CH2-COO-C2H5 (ethyl aceto acetate
