Question | Answer |
---|---|
Arrhenius Acid | Any substance that increases hydrogen ions (h+) in aqueous solutions. |
Arrhenius Base | Any substance that increases the hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions. |
Binary Acid | An acid that contains only two different elements : hydrogen and one of the more electronegative elements. |
Oxyacid | An acid that is a compound oh hydrogen, oxygen and a third element, that is usually a nonmetal. |
Weak Acids | Acids that are weak electrolytes. |
Strong Acids | An acid that ionizes completely in an aqueous solution. |
Alkaline | When a base completely dissociates in water to yield aqueous hydroxide ions, that solution is alkaline. |
Bronsted-Lowry Acid | A molecule or ion that gives up a proton (H+) |
Bronsted-Lowry Base | A molecule or ion that accepts a proton. |
Bronsted-Lowry Acid-Base Reaction | A reaction in which protons are transferred from one reactant(the acid) to another (the base) |
Monoprotic Acid | An acid that can only give up one proton(H+) per molecule. |
Polyprotic Acid | An acid that can give up more than one proton(H+) per molecule. |
Diprotic Acid | An acid that can give up two protons(H+) per molecule. |
Triprotic Acid | An acid that can give up three protons(H+) per molecule. |
Lewis Acid | An atom, molecule or ion that gives up an electron pair to form a covalent bond. |
Lewis Acid-Base Reaction | The formation of one or more covalent bonds between an electron-pair donor and an electron-pair acceptor. |
Conjugate Base | The substance that remains after a Bronsted-Lowry acid gives up a proton(H+) |
Conjugate Acid | The substance that is formed after a Bronsted-Lowry base gains a proton. |
Amp | Any substance that can react as either a base or an acid. |
Neutralization | The reaction of hydronium ions (H3O) and hydroxide ions (OH) to form water molecules. |
Salt | An ionic compound composed of a cation from a base and an anion from an acid. |
