Definitions of Acids and Bases

Memorize the Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, and Lewis Acid-Base Definitions. The card that reads "-" is to be matched with the other card reading "-". This is just an extra card (Knowt requires a minimum of four cards in a set).

Arrhenius

defines acids as substances that increase [H+] in solution and bases as substances that increase [OH–]

Lewis

defines acids as electron pair acceptors and bases as electron pair donors

Brønsted-Lowry
