What is Acid ?
What is Base ?
Answers
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.

Acids :-
1) According to the Lewis definition, acids are molecules or ions capable of coordinating with unshared electron pairs.
2) The Arrhenius theory of acids and bases states that “an acid generates H+ ions in a solution whereas a base produces an OH– ion in its solution".
3) The Bronsted-Lowry theory defines “an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton acceptor”.
Bases :-
1) According to Lewis defination , bases are molecules or ions having unshared electron pairs available for sharing with acids.
2) The Arrhenius definition of a base states that bases are the substances that, when dissolved in water, increase the concentration of OH– ions in it.
3) The Bronsted-Lowry theory defines a base as a proton acceptor (or H+ ion acceptor).
