Bronsted-Lowery Acids and Bases


  • Bronsted-Lowery acids donate a proton (H+) 
  • Bronsted-Lowery bases accept a proton (H+)

In the B.L. definitions, we have conjugate acid and conjugate bases. These come in pairs.
Acids produce conjugate bases and bases produce conjugate acids

  • Conjugate acid: the substance formed when a proton is added to a base
  • Conjugate base: the remaining substance when a proton is lost from an acid
