Correct answer: D. Oxide ion

  • A. Proton
  • B. Electron pair
  • C. Neutron
  • D. Oxide ion

Explanation

The Lux-Flood concept defines acids and bases in terms of their ability to donate or accept oxide ions (O2-). According to this concept, a Lux-Flood acid is a substance that donates oxide ions, while a Lux-Flood base is one that accepts them. This is particularly applicable in high-temperature reactions involving metal oxides. The other options are incorrect as they refer to different acid-base theories: protons are involved in the Brønsted-Lowry theory, electron pairs in the Lewis theory, and neutrons do not play a role in any acid-base concepts.
