The Arrhenius definitions are too restrictive because they only consider substances that ionize in water to produce H+ or OH- ions as acids or bases. This limited scope excludes other substances that can exhibit acidic or basic behavior in different solvents or conditions. Additionally, the Arrhenius definitions do not account for the concept of proton transfer in acid-base reactions beyond simple ionization reactions.
