Because it is already a hydrated proton and carries a positive charge which repels another proton making it energetically unfavorable.
A simple definition is: a base accept a proton.
In the nucleus you find protons and neutrons.
A Bronsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor.
Acids are substances that will donate a proton, while bases are substances that will accept a proton.
A monoprotic base is a molecule that has one functional group that can accept a proton. NaOH for example is a (strong) monoprotic base because it can accept one proton. But amines can also be monoprotic bases.
H2o
The amino group is most likely to gain a proton.
Proton
Because it may accept the proton but can not donate the 'OH-' ion.
Because it is already a hydrated proton and carries a positive charge which repels another proton making it energetically unfavorable.

A base accept protons.
A Bronsted-Lowry base is a chemical species which has the ability to accept a proton (positive hydrogen cation). You could also say it as being a "proton acceptor" !
Well, it depends on what ion you are talking about: the H+ ion, 'proton,' or the H- hydride ion. Anions, Lewis bases accept the proton or H+ ion (HCl); but active metals can react with H- to form metal hydrides (NaH for example)
