2. Acid–base reaction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_reaction

   In chemistry, an acid–base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base.It can be used to determine pH via titration.Several theoretical frameworks provide alternative conceptions of the reaction mechanisms and their application in solving related problems; these are called the acid–base theories, for example, Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory.

3. Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brønsted–Lowry_acid...

   t. e. The Brønsted–Lowry theory (also called proton theory of acids and bases[1]) is an acid–base reaction theory which was first developed by Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted and Thomas Martin Lowry independently in 1923. [2][3] The basic concept of this theory is that when an acid and a base react with each other, the acid forms its conjugate ...

4. Conjugate (acid-base theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_(acid-base_theory)

   Acids and bases. A conjugate acid, within the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, is a chemical compound formed when an acid gives a proton (H +) to a base —in other words, it is a base with a hydrogen ion added to it, as it loses a hydrogen ion in the reverse reaction. On the other hand, a conjugate base is what remains after an acid has ...

5. Base (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(chemistry)

   A strong base is a basic chemical compound that can remove a proton (H +) from (or deprotonate) a molecule of even a very weak acid (such as water) in an acid–base reaction. Common examples of strong bases include hydroxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, like NaOH and Ca (OH) 2, respectively.

6. HSAB theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSAB_theory

   HSAB theory. HSAB is an acronym for "hard and soft (Lewis) acids and bases ". HSAB is widely used in chemistry for explaining the stability of compounds, reaction mechanisms and pathways. It assigns the terms 'hard' or 'soft', and 'acid' or 'base' to chemical species. 'Hard' applies to species which are small, have high charge states (the ...

7. Lewis acids and bases - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_acids_and_bases

   Acids and bases. A Lewis acid (named for the American physical chemist Gilbert N. Lewis) is a chemical species that contains an empty orbital which is capable of accepting an electron pair from a Lewis base to form a Lewis adduct. A Lewis base, then, is any species that has a filled orbital containing an electron pair which is not involved in ...

8. Chemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry

   Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. [1] It is a physical science within the natural sciences that studies the chemical elements that make up matter and compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during reactions with other substances.

9. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(chemistry)

   Salts that produce hydroxide ions when dissolved in water are called alkali salts, and salts that produce hydrogen ions when dissolved in water are called acid salts. If the compound is the result of a reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the result is an acid salt. If it is the result of a reaction between a strong base and a weak ...
