Answer:

An acid is a substance that donates protons (in the Brønsted-Lowry definition) or accepts a pair of valence electrons to form a bond (in the Lewis definition). A base is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond. Bases can be thought of as the chemical opposite of acids.

Key Points

An acid is a substance that donates protons (in the Brønsted-Lowry definition) or accepts a pair of valence electrons to form a bond (in the Lewis definition).

A base is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond.

Bases can be thought of as the chemical opposite of acids. A reaction between an acid and base is called a neutralization reaction.

The strength of an acid refers to its ability or tendency to lose a proton; a strong acid is one that completely dissociates in water.

Key Terms

valence electron: Any of the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom; capable of forming bonds with other atoms.

Lewis base: Any compound that can donate a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond.

Lewis acid: Any compound that can accept a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond
