Chapter 14 Flashcards
An acid that contains only two different elements: hydrogen and one of the more electronegative elements
Binary Acid
An acid that is a compound of hydrogen, oxygen, and a third element, usually a nonmetal
Oxyacid
A chemical compound that increases the concentration of hydrogen ions, H+, in aqueous solutions
Arrhenius acid
A substance that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions, OH-, in aqueous solutions
Arrhenius base
An acid that ionizes completely in aqueous solution
Strong acid
An acid that releases few hydrogen ions in aqueous solution
Weak acid
A molecule or ion that is a proton donor
Bronsted-Lowry acid
A molecule or ion that is a proton acceptor
Bronsted-Lowry base
A reaction where protons are transferred from one reactant to another
Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reaction
An acid that can only donate one proton per molecule
Monoprotic acid
An acid that can donate more than one proton per molecule
Polyprotic acid
An acid that can donate two protons per molecules
Diprotic acid
An acid able to donate three protons per molecule
Triprotic acid
An atom, ion, or molecule that accepts an electron pair to form a covalent bond.
Lewis acid
An atom, ion, or molecule that donates an electron pair to form a covalent bond
Lewis base
