Who created the Arrhenius Theory

Who is Svante Arrhenius?

100

Who came up with this Theory?

who is Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted

100

Who created this theory?

Gilbert N Lewis

100

What is 1 big similarity between the 3?

The topic (acids and bases)

100

What is completely different about all 3?

Their names

200

What is the Theory?

What is classifying compounds as acids or bases based on what kind of ions formed when the compound was added to water

200

What is Amphoteric? (Acts as both an Acid or Base)

Water

200

This theory is much more focused on....?

"Acids and bases acting as proton acceptors and donators"

200

Which 2 Theorys both involve +H Ions?

Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowery

200

Which 2 are completely different

Arrhenius and Lewis

300

How can something be an Acid?

Anything that increases the concentration of H+

300

How can something be an acid

It is capable of donating a H+ Ion

300

How can this be an Acid?

it accepts an electron pair

300

Which 2 (Acids or Bases) Donate something?

Bronsted acid and Lewis Base

300

2 of the 3 have hydrogen ions as one of the big parts of them, which sole theory doesnt mention hydrogen ions?

Lewis

400

How can something be classified as a base?

If it increases the concentration of OH-

400

How can something be classified as a Base

Something that is capable of accepting a proton

400
How can this be a base?

Something that donates an electron pair

400

Which 2 (Acids or Bases) Accept something?

Bronsted Base and Lewis Acid

400

the ? definition of an acid/base accounts for how acids/bases can be dissolved in solvents other than water such as ammonia. The ? definition involves H+ and OH- ions which occur due to the acid/base being dissolved in water.

Bronsted-Lowry / Arrhenius

How is a hydronium ion formed?

Give the equation 

H+(aq)+H2O(l)→H3O+(aq)

500

Fill in the blank...

The Brønsted-Lowry theory enlarges the number of  __________ considered to be acids and bases to include not only the neutral molecules

Compounds

500

Fill in the blank...

Complex ions are ______ ions

Polyatomic

500

Which 2 are Amphoteric (something that can act as both an acid or base ) involved in? 

Lewis and Bronsted

500

an ? acid or base is a compound that supplies the H+ or OH-, not the H+ or OH- itself. However, the definition of a ? acid would define an H+ by itself as an acid because it is an electron acceptor.
