Three different definitions for the same, ordered evolutionary:
A base according to:
(In all three examples ammonia is the base molecule)
Example: NH3 + H2O --> NH4+ + OH-
Example: NH3 + H+ --> NH4+
(represented by two dots in the next example: ':' or '..' )
Example: +H + :NH3 -->+H..NH3 (which is of coarse the same as NH4+)
No, BF3 is not an Arrhenius acid. It is a Lewis acid because it can accept a pair of electrons from a Lewis base to form a coordinate covalent bond.
No, CH3OH (methanol) is not an Arrhenius base. It is a weak acid.
No, H2NNH2 is not an Arrhenius base because it is a weak base known as hydrazine. Arrhenius bases dissociate in water to produce hydroxide ions (OH-), whereas hydrazine does not ionize to form OH- ions but rather accepts protons (H+).
Aluminum chloride is considered a Lewis base but not a Bronsted-Lowry or Arrhenius base. In the Lewis model, a molecule is considered a base if it can donate a lone pair of electrons, which aluminum chloride can do. However, in the Bronsted-Lowry and Arrhenius models, a base is defined as a substance that can accept a proton, which aluminum chloride cannot do.
Ba(OH)2 is classified as an Arrhenius base.
No, BF3 is not an Arrhenius acid. It is a Lewis acid because it can accept a pair of electrons from a Lewis base to form a coordinate covalent bond.
Salt and water are formed from the neutralization of an Arrhenius acid with an Arrhenius base.
An Arrhenius base produces OH- ions.

Ba(OH)2 is classified as an Arrhenius base.
No, Br- is not an Arrhenius base. It is the conjugate base of hydrobromic acid (HBr) and would act as a base in a Brønsted-Lowry sense by accepting a proton.
Lithium hydroxide is the Arrhenius base that contains the lithium cation.
What is Arrhenius concept of acid and base?The universal aqueous acid-base definition of the Arrhenius concept is described as the formation of water from hydrogen and hydroxide ions, or hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions from the dissociation of an acid and base in aqueous solution:H+ (aq) + OH− (aq) H2O(In modern times, the use of H+ is regarded as a shorthand for H3O+, since it is now known that the bare proton H+ does not exist as a free species in solution.)This leads to the definition that in Arrhenius acid-base reactions, a salt and water is formed from the reaction between an acid and a base. In other words, this is a neutralization reaction.acid+ + base− → salt + water
An Arrhenius base produces OH- ions.
