Several theories have been developed to explain the behaviour of acids and bases. The most notable theories include the Arrhenius concept, the Brønsted-Lowry theory, and the Lewis concept. In the ...

Acids are chemical compounds that will ionize in water having a hydrogen ion (H+) active greater than that of water. Acids can give up a proton and they are of two types, it is strong acids and weak ...

A neutralisation reaction is one in which an acid reacts with a base to form water. A salt is also formed in this reaction. Bases are metal oxides, metal hydroxides and metal carbonates. In the ...

Electrons can spur the chemical reaction between an acid and a base, according to new results in Science, a finding that may help researchers precisely control reactions in areas from biology to ...
