Heya....!
In 1923, Chemists Johannes Nicolas Bronsted and Thomas Lowry independently developed definitions of acids and bases based on the compound's abilities to either donate or accept protons (H+ ions) . In this theory, acids are defined as proton donors whereas bases are defined as proton acceptors.
In this theory an acid is a substance that release a proton (like in the Arrhenius theory) and base is a substance that can accept a proton. A basic salt such as Na^+F generates OH ions in the water by taking protons from water itself (to make HF):
F(aq) + H2O(l) reversible reaction will give you HF(aq) + OH.
When a Bronsted acid dissociates, it increases the concentration of Hydrogen ions in the solution,(H+) conversely, Bronsted bases dissociates by taking a proton from the solvent (water) to generate (OH-).
Hope this helps you buddy!
Cheers!!!
