Tag Archives: Bronsted-Lowery acid

When a Bronsted Lowery acid loses a proton ( +H ion ), an electron ( e- ) pair and NET negative charge remain on the proton donor. For example, hydrochloric acid ( HCl ) readily forms +H and -Cl ions when placed within an aqueous solution. Lewis acids, however, expand upon this concept to includeContinue reading “CHEMISTRY: Bronsted Lowery vs. Lewis Acids”
