Acids and bases : avoid falling in a lack acid labster

- Acids and bases - Importance of acids and bases - Corrosive chemicals - Strong and weak acids - Strong and weak bases - Bases and alkalis - pH scale - Calculating pH - Amphoterism Selected option: Bases accept protons You got it! Acids are proton donors, whereas tiases are proton acceptors. This is called the Bronsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases. It's named after the two scientists who worked it out in 1923; the Danish scientist Johannes Bronsted and the English scientist Thomas Lowry. Of course, things in science are rarely simple...! There are also two other definitions for acids and bases: the Arrhenius definition and the Lewis definition, which we will not be converinn in this lah. But read the thenrv nane to learn ahnut them! - Acids and bases - Importance of acids and bases - Corrosive chemicals - Strong and weak acids - Strong and weak bases - Bases and alkalis - pH scale - Calculating pH - Amphoterism Selected option: Bases accept protons You got it!
