In general this refers to acid-base theories. Specifically this refers to the Bronsted-Lowry definition of an acid. In general, according to this theory, a reaction occurs and there is a proton transfer. An acid will "donate" a proton and a base will "accept" a proton in reaction.
This theory also stipulates that there is a conjugate acid and conjugate base. This means that in the forward reaction you have:
A1 (acid) + B1(-) (base) --> A2(-) + B2
This reaction is usually reversible because A2(-) is now able to accept a proton, thus is a BL (Bronsted-Lowry) base.
Therefore, according to BL theory, acids are proton donors and base are proton acceptors. The reactions are usually reversible, and A1 is the acid and A2 is the conjugate base, so it follows that B1 is a base and B2 is a conjugate acid.
more examples:
H2O is the acid and NH3 is the base. Do you see why?
NH3 --> NH4 thus is accepts a proton so NH3 is the acid and NH4 is the conjugate base.

Does CCl2F2 have hydrogen bond?
CCl2F2 can act as a hydrogen bond acceptor at the fluorine atoms, by not as a hydrogen bond donor, as it does not have any hydrogen atoms.

What is the ultimate electron and hydrogen ion acceptor in aerobic respiration?
ATP
Substances that accept hydrogen ions are called what?
H+ ion acceptor =? <Oxidizer>
Why water behaves as base with all the hydrogen halides?
Water behaves as a base with the hydrogen halides due to the fact that when dissolved in water the hydrogen halide dissociates into its ions, and the water molecule acts as a proton acceptor (base) when it combines with the hydrogen ion to form hydronium (H3O+), and the halogen forms its negative halide ion. The following example shows the reaction between hydrogen chloride and water. HCl + H2O --> H+ + Cl- + H2O --> H3O+ + Cl−
Is cyanide ion a pi acceptor ligands?

What is an example of a proton?
Ion of hydrogen.
What are universal hydrogen acceptor?
NAD
What kind of compound increases the hydrogen ion?
An acid for example.
Is water hydrogen gas oxygen gas or chloride ion an example of a compound?
Water is a compound. Hydrogen and oxygen agreements and the chloride ion, being an ion, is not a substance in its own right.
