My college book states,
"Arrhenius-Acids-"a substance that produces hydrogen ions"
"Arrhenius- Bases- "a substance that produces hydroxide ions"
"B-L- Acids- "A Proton donor"
"B-L - Bases-" A Proton receiver"
I know most things dissolve in H20. However, my teacher says H2O cannot be added into a formula to determine acids or bases because of H20 being a carrier instead of a reactant. Having see that most acids and bases have hydrogen or hydroxide components, can O or O2 be an acid or base? Im having trouble finding an element that can be categorized by the B.L. method as an acid, but not by the Arrhenius. Would O or O2 be one?
