Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to compare and contrast the acid and base types according to the definitions given by the different scientists

According to Arrhenius, an acid increases the concentration of hydrogen ions in the recation

According to Bronsted-Lowry, an acid donates hydrogen ions in the reaction

According to Lewis, an acid is capable of receiving the doanation of an electron pair from a Lewis Base

Now, let us look at the base definitions

According to Arrhenius, a base increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in the reaction

According to Bronsted-Lowry, a base is capable of receiving the donated hydrogen ions by the acid

According to Lewis, a base is capable of donation an electron pair to a Lewis acid, to form a Lewis adduct
