Acids and Bases
Verse 1:
The first chemist to inform us,
His name was Savanté Arrhenius.
He said acids give the ion H Plus,
Bases give the ion OH Minus.
HCl shows us a great example
Hydronium forms in stock sample.
NaOH is the other story
Hydroxide makes the base inventory.
Chorus:
Acids and bases whats left to say?
3 different theories are together today
Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, Lewis
All their ideas added to this
Acids have a pH less than 7
pH 0 is as strong as heaven
the pH of 7 is neutral
Above which is base, must be well controlled.
Verse 2:
There was a problem with the first theory
Solved by two chemists Bronsted and Lowry
They proposed acids were proton donors
And that bases were but proton receptors
The result of this was acid-base reactions
Always wanting equilibrium action
Then the rise of conjugate pairs
More acids and bases put out there
Bridge:
These two things can both be quite caustic
If it hits you, you should test diagnostics
Dont ever mess with the six strong acids
They dissociate completely and will leave you roasted
Verse 3:
A guy called Lewis in 1963
He made the concept much harder for me
Lewis bases donate electron pairs
Lewis acids accept them there
An adduct forms between the compounds
This time the protons dont have to move around
This is unlike Bronsted-Lowrys theory
It makes the subject far from easy
LOL NICE
