oxyacid
Let an agent explain oxyacids, relay structure, naming, strength trends, examples and hazards from chemistry sources, describe the named examples, route acid exposure, and distinguish oxyacids from hydracids, bases, salts and oxides.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain oxyacids, relay structure, naming, strength trends, examples and hazards from chemistry sources, describe the named examples, route acid exposure, and distinguish oxyacids from hydracids, bases, salts and oxides.
An acid that contains oxygen, in which an acidic hydrogen is attached to an oxygen atom bonded to a central atom, such as sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric and carbonic acids, contrasted with hydracids such as hydrochloric acid that contain no oxygen; forms the registry aliases name include ortho acids, unusually oxygen-rich forms, tellurium and manganese oxoacids, and organic examples such as rhodizonic acid, croconic acid and 2-iodoxybenzoic acid, a reagent in organic synthesis. Oxyacid strength depends on the central atom and number of oxygens, and many are corrosive and hazardous, so concentrated acids need appropriate handling and, on exposure, rinsing and medical advice.
What it is for: Acids containing oxygen used in chemistry and industry.
It can be explain structure and naming; relay strength trends; describe named examples; route acid exposure.
Distinguishing features
Oxygen-containing
Acidic O-H
Strength depends on structure
Often corrosive
What it looks like
Often colourless liquids or crystalline solids; many are corrosive.
Physical character
example: sulfuric acid H2SO4 formula
strength trend: rises with more oxygens and electronegative centre note
registry parents: acid, hydroxy compound note
How it is recognised
Acid containing oxygen bonded to a central atom
Ortho acid, 2-iodoxybenzoic acid, rhodizonic acid, croconic acid, tellurium oxoacid, manganese oxoacid
Hydracids lack oxygen; bases accept protons; salts are neutralisation products; oxides are element-oxygen compounds without acidic hydrogen
