Louis Bautista · Answer 1

Bronsted Base is an H + acceptor

No good answer Bronstead base does not accept hydroxide or electrons

Shyla Hart · Answer 2

Bronsted-Lowry bases include both proton acceptors and hydroxide ions.

Explanation:

Bronsted Lowry base theory includes all bases that can act as proton acceptors. This includes Arrhenius bases include bases that can produce hydroxide ions in solution, such as sodium hydroxide, and more traditional proton acceptors like ammonia, NH3 ...
