What are the key components of the Bronsted-Lowery acid-base theory?
What are the key components of the Bronsted-Lowery acid-base theory?
The key components of the Bronsted-Lowery acid-base theory are the definitions of acids as proton donors and bases as proton acceptors, and the transfer of protons during acid-base reactions.
Explain the Bronsted-Lowery acid-base theory.
Explain the Bronsted-Lowery acid-base theory.
The Bronsted-Lowery acid-base theory defines an acid as a proton (H+) donor and a base as a proton acceptor.
How does the Bronsted-Lowery theory differ from the Arrhenius theory of acids and bases?
How does the Bronsted-Lowery theory differ from the Arrhenius theory of acids and bases?
The Bronsted-Lowery theory is more inclusive as it can describe reactions in non-aqueous solvents and includes substances that do not contain hydroxide ions, while the Arrhenius theory is limited to aqueous solutions and focuses on the presence of hydroxide ions for bases.
