Acids and Bases |
|
A substance that releases hydrogen ions (H+) in solution |
Acid |
|
Are compounds that release all of their H+ in solution: that is, they ionize completely |
Strong Acid |
|
Do not ionize completely; that is, some of their hydrogen ions remain bonded within a compound in solution |
Weak Acids |
|
Example of Weak Acid |
Vinegar, or Acetic Acid |
|
Is a substance that release hydroxyl ions (OH-) in solution or one that accepts H+ already present in solution |
Base |
|
Release most or all of their hydroxyl ions |
Strong Bases |
|
Release only some hydroxyl ions or absorb only a few H+ |

Bronsted-Lowry Definition |
|
Accepts an electron pair |
Acid |
|
Donates an electron pair |
Base |
|
Acid accepts an electron pair Base donates an electron pair |
Lewis definition |
