Answer:
An acid is a molecule or ion capable of donating a proton (hydrogen ion H+) (a Brønsted–Lowry acid), or, alternatively, capable of forming a covalent bond with an electron pair (a Lewis acid).[1]
The first category of acids are the proton donors, or Brønsted–Lowry acids. In the special case of aqueous solutions, proton donors form the hydronium ion H3O+ and are known as Arrhenius acids. Brønsted and Lowry generalized the Arrhenius theory to include non-aqueous solvents. A Brønsted or Arrhenius acid usually contains a hydrogen atom bonded to a chemical structure that is still energetically favorable after loss of H+.
Acids are substance that dissolves in water to produce hydrogen ions as the only positively charged ions
1. Concentrated acids
2. Dilute acids
Acids that contain very little or no amount of water are called concentrated acids
Example - Sulphuric acid
Acids that contain a large amount of water are called dilute acids
Example - Vinegar
1. Sulphuric acids
2. Hydrochloric acids
3. Citric acid
4. Tartaric acid
5. Carbonic acid etc
