Example of brostead base |
|
Answer» tion:Brønsted-Lowry base is a molecule or ion that accepts a hydrogen ion in a reaction. A hydrogen ion is commonly referred to as a proton, and so acids and BASES are proton donors and proton acceptors respectively according to the Brønsted-Lowry DEFINITION. All substances that are categorized as acids and bases under the ARRHENIUS definition are ALSO defined as such under the Brønsted-Lowry definition. The new definition, HOWEVER, includes some substances that are left out according to the Arrhenius definition. |
