Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Arrhenius acid : An Arrhenius acid is a compound that releases hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.
  • Arrhenius base : An Arrhenius base is a compound that dissociates in water to release hydroxide ions.
  • Brønsted acid : A Brønsted acid is a proton donor that can release H+H^+.
  • Brønsted base : A Brønsted base is a proton acceptor that can capture H+H^+.
  • Conjugate acid-base pair : A conjugate acid-base pair is formed when an acid donates a proton to become a base, or when a base accepts a proton to become an acid.
