The definition that offers the broadest range of substances that can be considered acids is the: Arrhenius definition Brønsted-Lowry definition Lewis definition Arrhenius-Brønsted-Lowry definition
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
@sweetburger its Brønsted-Lowry definition right?
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
Its the Lewis Definition. This is because it basically states anything that acts as an electron acceptor can theoretically be an acid.
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
:( thats confusing
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
wierd. does that mean that air could basically be an acid according to this theory?
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
no. cuz air doesnt have electrons do they?
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
Well we live in an oxidizing atmosphere which means that it is taking electrons, therefore an electron acceptor which would be defined as a Lewis Base. This is why certain metals like Na quickly oxidize to form metal oxides and lose their "silverish color" to form a blackened color
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
oh. okay.
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
that makes a little more sense
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
So i guess you could say air, our atmosphere, is a lewis base. But I dont know if thats even sound reasoning XD.
