Properties of Acids and Bases

Hi, and welcome to this video on acids and bases! Back in the 17th century, definitions of acids and bases were largely based on their observable properties. Today, we use the Brønsted-Lowry definition, in which acids are compounds that donate protons and bases are compounds that accept protons. These definitions are broad and can be used to explain the difference between strong and weak acids and bases. Finally, the strength of acids and bases can be assessed by the stability of their conjugate base and conjugate acid, respectively.
