Hard Soft Acid Base
Hard Soft Acid Base Theory
Hard soft acid base theory or HSAB principle was proposed by Ralph Pearson in 1963. It is very helpful for predicting...
Acids are hydrogen containing substances that give H+ ions in water solution.
Hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitric acid is the most common examples of inorganic mineral acid used widely in the laboratory and industry.
Modern acid and base theories are not only limited to aqueous solutions (Arrhenius theory). The electronic concept (Bronsted Lowry and Lewis theory) is also used to define all the acids and bases in chemistry or chemical science.
In this category, we discuss the definition and properties of acids and bases by different concepts or theories.
