Medical Definition of Orthoacid

1. An acid in which the number of hydroxyl groups equals the valence of the acid-forming element; e.g., C(OH)4, orthocarbonic acid. When there is no such acid, the one that most nearly approaches this condition is sometimes called an orthoacid; e.g., OP(OH)3, orthophosphoric acid. (05 Mar 2000)
