6 Questions
Why did Arrhenius' theory fail to explain the behavior of some compounds like NH3?
It could not explain the behavior of compounds without hydroxyl ions
According to Arrhenius, how is an acid defined?
A substance that liberates hydrogen ions, H+
Why is the Brönsted–Lowry theory considered more useful than the Arrhenius theory?
It can represent ionization in both aqueous and non-aqueous systems
According to Arrhenius, how is a base defined?
A substance that supplies hydroxyl ions, OH− on dissociation
Why did Arrhenius' theory fail to explain the behavior of some compounds like NH3?
It did not account for compounds that do not contain hydroxyl ions
What makes the Brönsted–Lowry theory more useful than the Arrhenius theory?
