Answer:

Arrhenius acid

Step-by-step explanation:

The arrhenius theory conceptualizes an acid as a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions in an aqueous sloution. Hydroxonium ions results when the oxygen atom of water chemically bonds with the protons released by the acid.

An arrehnius base interacts with water to yield excess hydroxide ions in an aqueous solution.

A Bronsted-Lowry base as a proton acceptor.

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor.
