~~Hydroxic acid~~ hydrohydroxic acid

If the anion ends in "ide", the acid name is hydro___ic acid. So hydroxide becomes hydrohydroxic acid.

Username almost checks out? IIRC Niels was a physicist, not a chemist.

Well, my grad school research used quantum mechanical calculations to predict physical properties of chemicals, so it fits for me ;)

Plus, as long as I have to teach first years the Bohr model, I figure chemistry can claim him as an honorary chemist. After all, what is chemistry but applied physics? Relevant xkcd: "Purity of the field"
