An acid is which of these?

Question

An acid is a:

Proton acceptor

Proton doner

Neutron acceptor

Proton counselor

Answer 1

The definition of acid is a chemical substance that releases H+ ions when dissolved in water.

Thus, acid donates these H+ ions when reacted, giving them the name of proton donor. If you do experiments with acid, you'll notice acids will release hydrogen gas.

Answer 2

In this case the answer is a proton donOr.

There are acids however, that do NOT donate protons but rather accept electron pairs ( the Lewis acid /base definition). Like boron trifluoride  BF3 is a Lewis acid and accepts an electron pair..but does not donate a proton. The answer above is for the Arrhenius,   Lowry Bronsted...idea of an acid

Answer 3

Do your own homework. Look it up. Google is your friend.

Answer 4

an acid is a proton donor......

Answer 5

proton doner.. but the main thing u have to remember is all of the acids have hydrogen.. usually most of the acids are the compound of metal hydrogens.. just look for it..

Answer 6

proton donor.
