A) is a proton donor B breaks stable hydrogen bonds C) corrodes metals D) form is stable hydrogen bonds ​

Answer 1

Answer: A (acid is a proton donor)

Step-by-step explanation:

Bronsted-Lowry Definition

• Acids are proton (H⁺) donors.
• Example: HCl is a strong acid and it donates a proton to water when both are in a solution. Water is the base because it accepted the proton from water to form H₃O⁺.
• Bases are proton (H+) acceptors.
• Example: NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) <--> NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq). In this reaction, NH₃ is the base because it accepted the proton from water, and water is the acid because it donated a proton to NH₃.·

• Amphoteric means some substances act as an acid or base, depending on the reaction. Water is a good example of an amphoteric substance because it can donate or accept a proton.
