L'adjectif basique est correctement utilisé en français pour désigner un sel basique qui peut formellement libérer un anion OH-. Il est fortement déconseillé de l'utiliser en français dans le cas d'un sel acide contenant un ou plusieurs cations H+; on doit donc éviter les noms tels que «phosphate sodique monobasique» et «phosphate monobasique de sodium» qui sont des anglicismes de mauvais aloi. 1, record 1, French, - dihydrog%C3%A9nophosphate%20de%20sodium
