The video tutorial explains the naming conventions for different types of acids, including binary, ternary, and organic acids. Binary acids consist of hydrogen and one other element, and are named using the 'hydro' prefix. Ternary acids involve polyatomic ions, with naming based on the anion's ending. Organic acids, such as carboxylic acids, have unique naming conventions. The tutorial provides examples and rules for each type of acid.
