|
Arrhenius acids and bases are:
|
acid—a substance that increases the concentration of protons (H+) in water
base—a substance that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in water (OH-) These definitions are limited to aqueous solutions. |
|
Brønsted and Lowry acids and bases as:
|
acid—a substance that donates a proton to another substance
base—a substance that accepts a proton These definitions can also apply to reactions that are not aqueous, so they are more accurate. |
|
Lewis acids and bases are:
|
acid—a substance that accepts an electron pair
base—a substance that donates an electron pair |
|
hydronium
|
(H3O+)—H+ riding “piggyback” on a water molecule; water is polar, and the positive charge of the naked proton is greatly attracted to one of the negative electron pairs on adjacent oxygen
|
|
monoprotic
|
describes acids that can donate one H+
|
|
diprotic
|
describes acids that can donate two H+ ions
|
|
polyprotic
|
describes acids that can donate more than one H+ ion
|
|
amphiprotic
|
describes a substance that can act as either an acid or a base. This means it can either lose a proton or gain one. Water is amphiprotic: it can form either a hydroxide ion or a hydronium ion. Other examples of amphiprotic substances are , ,
