Which definition describes a Brønsted–Lowry acid?
A.A proton donor
B.A proton acceptor
C.An electron-pair acceptor
D.An OH⁻ producer
Explanation
Core Concept
Brønsted–Lowry acids donate H⁺ to a base. The definition is broader than Arrhenius's (which requires H⁺ release in water) because it covers reactions in any solvent.
Correct Answer
AA proton donor
