What is the Bronsted-Lowry acid and base theory?
1 Answer
Brønsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor. Brønsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor. .
Explanation:
Arrhenius' acid definition states it contains a hydrogen ion. Arrhenius base contains a hydroxide ion.
Brønsted and Lowry independently added to Arrhenius's definitions to account for bases that do not have the hydroxide ion, such as ammonia,
Brønsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor. Brønsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor.
The Lewis acid is a lone pair acceptor. The Lewis base is the lone pair donor. If you look at the above equation, ammonia,
