Arrhenius Acid
Any substance that when dissolved in water increases hydrogen concentration. These compounds always have hydrogen.
Brønsted-Lowry Acid
Any compound that donates protons. These compounds always contain hydrogen.
Arrhenius Base
Any substance that when dissolved in water increases hydroxide concentration. These compounds will always contain hydroxide.
Brønsted-Lowry Base
Any compound that accepts protons. Typically have hydroxide in them.
Electrolyte
An aqueous solution that can conduct an electric current. Also a solute that dissolves in water and dissociates into ions, yielding a solution that conducts electricity.
No electrolyte
A substance that does not conduct electricity. A solute that dissolves in water without producing ions, yielding a solution that does not conduct electricity.
Dissociation
The process of breaking apart into ions
Monoprotic Acid
An acid that contains one H+
Diprotic Acid
An acid that contains two H+
Triprotic Acid
An acid that contains three H+
Weak Acid
An acid that partially dissociates, producing a few H+
Weak base
A base that partially dissociates, producing a few OH-
Strong acid
An acid that completely dissociates
Strong base
A base that completely dissociates
