Acids Bases Theories
2
Traditional Theory (Arrhenius)

• Acid Formula has H written first and ionizes
  in water to form Hydronium Ion
• Hydronium Ion H3O
• HF H2O ? F- H3O
• Base Formula has OH at the end and ionizes in
  water to form Hydroxide Ion
• Hydroxide Ion OH-
• LiOH ? Li OH-

Bronsted-Lowry Theory

• Acid a proton donor donates H
• Base a proton acceptor accepts H
• Acids / Bases are on left side of an equation
• Conjugate Acid forms when the Base accepts H
• Conjugate Base piece of Acid left after H is
  donated
• Con. Acid / Con. Base are on right side

Bronsted-Lowry Theory (cont.)

• HCl H2O ? H3O Cl-
• Acid Base ? C. Acid C. Base
• Salt Compound whose chemical formula does not
  contain H or OH
• Ex BaSO4

5
Lewis Theory

• Acid electron pair acceptor
• Base electron pair donor
