Acids are proton donors that have more acid molecules than base molecules in solution, while bases are proton acceptors that have more base molecules than acid molecules. Specifically, acids donate H+ ions to other compounds according to the Bronsted-Lowry definition, and bases accept H+ ions from other compounds. Solutions can be acidic, basic, or neutral depending on the relative quantities of acid and base molecules present.
2. Solutions are ACIDIC if they have more “acid molecules” then base molecules Solutions are BASIC if they have more “base molecules” then acid molecules OVERALL DEFINITIONS Solutions are NEUTRAL if they have equal quantities of both
3. Bronsted-Lowry Definition -Donate H+ ions to other compounds - ACIDS ARE PROTON DONORS -A proton and H+ are the same thing ACIDS
4. HCl + H 2 0 Cl- + H 3 0 H 3 O is called Hydroniom Video *
