    The first letter is an H (hydrogen) so the compound is an acid. Since the rest of the compound is a polyatomic ion, we do not use the prefix hydro-.

    The name of the polyatomic ion ClO2 - is chlorite (see a polyatomic ion chart to confirm).

    Drop the ending - ite and replace with - ous acid.

    So the name is chlorous acid (aq).
