This theory defines acids as substances that increase the concentration of H+ ions in aqueous solutions and bases as substances that increase the concentration of OH− ions.

According to the Lewis theory of acids and bases, acids are electron pair this, while bases are electron pair this.

What are acceptors (for acids) and donors (for bases)?
