It is a redox reaction.
Depending on the type of acid/base (Arrhenius, Bronsted, Lewis), the acid donates protons and a base doesn't but accepts protons, or the base donates OH- and the acid doesn't, or the acid accepts a pair of electrons and the base donates a pair of electrons. They are just different, that's why.
If an atom donates or accepts an electron it is considered an ion.
In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base. The overall reaction involves the transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.
An element is REDUCED. By that, it means that an element of a compound or an element in itself has gained electron/s when the reaction occurs. You can find this out when you see a change in their oxidation number.
the reaction center.
That reaction is called Ionic bonding. Hope I helped, 2000AD
A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a substance that donates a proton (H) in a chemical reaction, while a Bronsted-Lowry base is a substance that accepts a proton. To determine if a substance is a Bronsted-Lowry acid or base, you can look at its behavior in a reaction - if it donates a proton, it is an acid, and if it accepts a proton, it is a base.
A substance that is good at reducing another atom
A reductant force is a force that contributes to reducing or decreasing the size, strength, or intensity of something. In chemistry, it refers to a substance that donates electrons in a redox reaction, causing another substance to be reduced by gaining those electrons.
An acid donates an H+, and a base accepts an H+. - Apex
An acid is a substance that donates a proton or accepts an electron pair in a chemical reaction. Acids typically have a sour taste and can turn blue litmus paper red.
Depending on the type of acid/base (Arrhenius, Bronsted, Lewis), the acid donates protons and a base doesn't but accepts protons, or the base donates OH- and the acid doesn't, or the acid accepts a pair of electrons and the base donates a pair of electrons. They are just different, that's why.
If an atom donates or accepts an electron it is considered an ion.
if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.
An acid donates an H+, and a base accepts an H+. (apex).
An acid donates an H+, and a base accepts an H+. (apex).
This is the definition of a base.
