There are a number of definitions for acids and bases. Match the following definitions to the correct theory.
Theory Definition
A. Arrhenius I - donates or accepts protons
B. Bronsted-Lowry II - donates or accepts a lone pair of electrons
C. Lewis III - donates a proton or a hydroxide
Are these your answers? The answer for C is under B. The answer for B is under A. The answer for A is under C.;
To match the theory definitions to the correct theories, we need to understand the different theories of acids and bases.
A. The Arrhenius theory defines an acid as a substance that donates protons (H+) in an aqueous solution, and a base as a substance that donates hydroxide ions (OH-) in an aqueous solution.
B. The Bronsted-Lowry theory defines an acid as a substance that donates a proton (H+) to another substance, and a base as a substance that accepts a proton.
C. The Lewis theory defines an acid as a substance that accepts an electron pair, and a base as a substance that donates an electron pair.
Now, let's match the definitions to the theories:
Theory Definition
A. Arrhenius I - donates or accepts protons
B. Bronsted-Lowry II - donates or accepts a lone pair of electrons
C. Lewis III - donates a proton or a hydroxide
Based on the definitions provided, we can match them as follows:
Theory Definition
A. Arrhenius I - donates or accepts protons
B. Bronsted-Lowry II - donates or accepts a lone pair of electrons
C. Lewis III - donates a proton or a hydroxide
So, A - Arrhenius, B - Bronsted-Lowry, and C - Lewis.
