Question:
Describe the following terms and give an example for each.
i) Bronsted acid
ii) Lewis base
Acids and bases:
Acids are chemical substances that have hydrogen atoms and have the capability of donating them. Bases, on the other hand, are molecules or ions that accept {eq}H^+ {/eq} ions from acids.

The Bronsted-Lowry and Lewis Definition of Acids and Bases
from
Chapter 10 / Lesson 4
74K
Chemist Johannes Bronsted and scientist Thomas Lowry proposed that an acid should be defined as a substance that can donate a proton, while a base is any substance that can accept protons. American chemist G.N. Lewis proposed a different theory. Learn about three popular scientific definitions of acids and bases.
