acid and bases Flashcards
Bronsted-lowry acid
proton donor
Bronsted-lowry base
proton acceptor
proton donor
BL- acid
proton acceptor
BL-base
lewis acid
electron pair acceptor
lewis base
electron pair donor
lewis def
more broad, bc sometimes H aren’t involved
- Lewis bases donate electrons
bases
accept protons and/or donate their electron pair
acids
donate protons and/oraccept an electron pair ( think of HCL–> when the proton gets picked up–> it leaves with no electrons and so the Cl with 3 lone pairs and one H becomes Cl with 4 lone pairs ( it gained an electron )
amphoteric species
can REACT with both acid or base depending on the environment
- water most common example
amphiprotic
can donate or accept a proton (narrower term than amphoteric)
