What is the definition of a traditional acid and base?
Acids and bases where traditional considered as substances that when dissolved in water increase the concentration of H+ and OH- ions respectively. This i the so called “Arrhenius” definition. Other definitions came after this: By the Lewis definition, an acid is an electon pair acceptor, whereas a base is an electron pair donor. By the Bronsted-Lowry definition, an acid dissociates to release protons, and a base accepts protons. Solvent-system definition: According to this definition, an acid is a substance that, when dissolved in an autodissociating solvent, increases the concentration of the solvonium cations, such as H3O+ in water, NH4+ in liquid ammonia, NO+ in liquid N2O4, SbCl2+ in SbCl3, etc. Base is defined as the substance that increases the concentration of the solvate anions, respectively OH-, NH2-, NO3-, or SbCl4-. This definition extends acid-base reactions to nonaqueous systems and even some aprotic systems, where no hydrogen nuclei are involved in the reactions. This de
