Howell · Answer 1

When the acid-base definition is based on the electron transfer, this is the concept of Lewis acids and bases.

The Arrhenius concept is based on the formation of H + and OH - ions upon dissociation in water. The Bronsted-Lowry concept is based on donating and accepting of H + ions.
