Arrhenius Acids and Bases
Arrhenius theory, a fundamental concept in chemistry, provides a framework for understanding the behavior of acids and bases in aqueous solutions. Proposed by Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius in 1884, this theory defines acids as substances that dissociate in water to yield hydrogen ions (H⁺) and bases as substances that dissociate to produce hydroxide ions (OH⁻). This simple yet profound theory forms the basis for our understanding of acid-base chemistry and has significant implications in various scientific disciplines and everyday applications.
