Question

why are acids called so in short and I will mark you brainliest and follow me and I will also follow you ​

Answer 1

Hey mate....

Here's your answer.....

Acids are substances that can donate H+ ions to bases. Since a hydrogen atom is a proton and one electron, technically an H+ ion is just a proton. So an acid is a "proton donor", and a base is a "proton acceptor". The reaction between an acid and base is essentially a proton transfer.

Hope this will be helpful to you....
