Answer:

(A) a compound that donates protons .

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry Model :

  • Acids are proton donors.
  • Bases are proton acceptors.

  • So, the right choice is:

(A) a compound that donates protons .

Answer:

Bronsted-Lowry defines the compound which (A) donates protons as acid.

Explanation:

According to this concept, an acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ion in a chemical reaction. Hydrogen ion is same as a proton as it has only one proton in its atom. According to him, a base is that substance that accepts hydrogen in a chemical reaction.

In a general sense, all proton donors are acids and all proton acceptors are bases. The higher the number of hydrogen ion donated, the more acidic the substance.
