Base is acceptor of
Correct answer: B. Proton
- A. OH⁻ ion
- B. Proton
- C. Electron pair
- D. All of these
Explanation
In the context of the Bronsted-Lowry theory, a base is defined as a substance that accepts protons (H⁺ ions). Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: Proton. Option A is incorrect because OH⁻ ions are not accepted by bases; instead, bases can produce OH⁻ ions in aqueous solutions. Option C is incorrect as it refers to the Lewis definition of bases, which involves donating electron pairs, not accepting protons. Option D is incorrect because a base does not accept all of these, as it specifically accepts protons according to the Bronsted-Lowry definition.
