Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowery
We recently covered the difference between acids and basis, which I had some prior knowledge on. I learned that Acid and Bases can be defined in two ways, Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowery. The major difference between the two is shown below.
Arrhenius:Acids produce hydrogen ions in solution (H+)Bases produce hydroxide ions in solution (OH-)
Bronsted-Lowery:Acids donate a proton (H+)Bases accept a proton (OH-)
While grasping this concept, I found this link helpful
