acids are ionic compounds that relate to which element?
water
the roman numerals in fact show the oxidation number, but in simple ionic compounds (i.e., not metal complexes) this will always equal the ionic charge on the metal. for a simple overview see , for more details see selected pages from iupac rules for naming inorganic compounds.

hydrates are ionic compounds that have absorbed water. they are named as the ionic compound followed by a numerical prefix and "-hydrate". the numerical prefixes used are listed below (see iupac numerical multiplier):
iupac nomenclature of inorganic chemistry
ionic compounds containing hydrogen ions (h) are classified as acids, and those containing electropositive cations and basic anions ions hydroxide (oh) or oxide (o) are classified as bases. other ionic compounds are known as salts and can be formed by acid–base reactions. if the compound is the result of a reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the result is an acidic salt. if it is the result of a reaction between a strong base and a weak acid, the result is a basic salt. if it is the result of a reaction between a strong acid and a strong base, the result is a neutral salt. weak acids reacted with weak bases can produce ionic compounds with both the conjugate base ion and conjugate acid ion, such as ammonium acetate.
