Abstract

Acid-base chemistry encompass all areas of chemistry. Older theories based on proton transfer are useful for systematically describing chemistry in aqueous solutions, but Lewis theory based on electronic interactions applies more universally. In this chapter, the important theories of acid-base behavior are described and used to explain such observations as solubility, catalysis, crystal structures, hydrogen bonding, and the formation of coordinate bonds.
