Concept Introduction:
Bronsted-Lowry Acids: A Bronsted-Lowry acid is proton donor and contains a hydrogen atom. It may be a neutral molecule or may contain a net positive or negative charge.
Bronsted-Lowry Bases: A Bronsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor. A base should contain a lone pair of electrons, which donates to form a new bond. It can be neutral or can contain a negative charge.
Conjugate acid: A conjugate acid is the product formed by a gain of a proton by a base. The conjugate acid of the base B will be
Conjugate base: A conjugate base is the product formed by a loss of proton from an acid. The conjugate base of the acid A will be
