What are bases? What are acids? |
|
Answer» Explanation: 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. |
