Here is a general page about acids and bases.
Vocabulary:
- Brønsted-Lowry Acid: proton donors (increase [$H_3 O^+$] )
- Brønsted-Lowry Base: proton acceptor (increase [$OH^-$] )
- amphiprotic: can act as an or base
- Lewis Acid: electron-pair acceptor
- Lewis Base: electron-pair donor
Characteristics:
- Acid strength
- stronger acid: more positive charge; smaller size
- Strong Acid/Base
- complete dissociation in solution
- Weak Acid/Base
- partial dissociation in solution
- Polyphonic
- more than one acidic group
- How can we track how acidic/basic something is?
- pH!
