Chem definitions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| A.D: Acid | is a substance that almost completely dissociates in water to produce H+ ions |
| A.D: strong acid | is a substance that almost completely dissociates in water to give hydrogen ions |
| A.D: weak acid | is a substance that only slightly dissociates in water to give hydrogen ions |
| A.D: base | is a substance that dissociates in water to produce OH- ions |
| A.D: strong base | is a substance that almost completely dissociates in water to give hydroxide ions |
| A.D: weak base | is a substance that only slightly dissociates in water to give hydroxide ions |
| B.L: acid | proton donor |
| B.L: base | proton accepter |
| B.L: strong acid | good proton donor |
| B.L: weak acid | poor proton donor |
| B.L: strong base | good proton acceptor |
| B.L: weak base | poor proton donor |
| conjugate acid-base pair | is an acid and base that differ by a single proton |
| conjugate acid | base changes when it accepts a proton |
| conjugate base | acid changes when it donates a proton |
