Ostwald theory
Bronsted-Lowry theory
Arrhenius theory
Lewis theory
Solution
According to Arrhenius theory an acid is a
Substance that contains hydrogen and gives $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ions in an aqueous solution.
- $\quad$ Lewis acid $\rightarrow$ lone pair acceptor
- $\quad$ Bronsted-Lowry acid is a substance which donates a proton or $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ion to the other compound and forms a conjugated base.
