  1. Monobasic acid
  2. Dibasic acid
  3. Tribasic acid

1. Monobasic acid- Monobasic acids are acids that furnish only one hydrogen ion (H+) per molecule in water. Example: Hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid.
2. Dibasic acid- Dibasic acids are acids that furnish two hydrogen ions (H+) per molecule in water. Example: Sulphuric acid, carbonic acid, oxalic acid.
3. Tribasic acid- Tribasic acids are acids that furnish three hydrogen ions (H+) per molecule in water. Example: Phosphoric acid, phosphorus acid.
