Why do many compounds that contain one or more hydrogen atoms are not classified as Arrhenius acids?

Some acids contribute H+ directly to the base so the H+ will not be found in solution.

Is Hydrogen Peroxide organic or inorganic?
Only compounds are classified as organic or inorganic.The element hydrogen often occurs in organic compounds. It can also be found in inorganic compounds.All organic compounds contain the element carbon.
What is compounds made of hydrogen and carbon?
Hydrocarbons are families of compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon.
Which pair of compounds can be classified as inorganic?
water and salts Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen bonds. Both nucleic acids and proteins contain these. Water (H2O) and salts (ex: NaCl) do not.
Does hairspray contain hydrogen and helium?
The propellant used in hair spay does not contain hydrogen gas or helium gas. Hairspray contains compounds that contain covalently bonded hydrogen.
What other element do most organic compounds contain?
Hydrogen.
Arrhenius defined acids as compounds that?
Contain hydrogen
Is Hydrogen Peroxide organic or inorganic?

According to the Arrhenius theory of acids citric acid in oranges and acetic acid in vinegar are classified as acids because their aqueous solutions contain what?
Hydrogen Atoms
What does organic compound contain?
Organic Compounds contain carbon, and almost always hydrogen.
Acidic compounds contain which element?
Well it depends on what kind of acid you're talking about. Most people think of acids as hydrogen donating compounds and that is indeed one type of acid. It fits under the Bronsted-Lowry definition of an acid and under the Arrhenius definition (which says that acids are compounds that dissociate in water into hydrogen ions etc.). However, under the Lewis definition, an acid is anything that can accept an electron pair and it doesn't have to contain hydrogen.
All compounds are classified by?
the elements the contain
What is compounds made of hydrogen and carbon?
Hydrocarbons are families of compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon.
Does every chemical compound contain hydrogen?
Not all compounds contain hydrogen, and there are many of these. Although there are also many, especially organic compounds, that do have hydrogen as a component.
Why many compounds that contain one or ore hydrogen atoms are not classified as Arrhenius acid?
To be an Arrhenius acid the hydrogen atoms have to be capable of being lost as protons in aqueous solutions. One simple explanation is in terms of the polarity of the X-H bond if planar, the X-H will be soluble in water, the slightly charged H atom will make it easier to be stolen by a water molecule. A better explanation is to look at the Arrhenius equilibrium and look at the factors that would favour dissocation. X-H(aq) <-> H+ (aq) + X-(aq) What drives the equibrium to the right hand side?
Do inorganic compounds contain Carbon- Hydrogen bonds?
No. Carbon-hydrogen bonds are found in organic compounds.
Which elements are considered the foundation organic compounds and why?
carbon and hydrogen Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen.
What molecules contain hydrogen?
There are tens of thousands of them. Perhaps the biggest category of such molecules are called the hydrocarbons, which are compounds of carbon and hydrogen. Another category is the organic compounds which are compounds containing carbon; most of these also contain hydrogen.
