Arrhenius, Lewis, and Bronsted Definitions
Is there a certain time when an acid or base reaction should be considered a Arrhenius, Lewis, or Bronsted Acid / Base? How do you know when to use each type / definition?

Re: Arrhenius, Lewis, and Bronsted Definitions
Lewis acid: Electron pair accepter
Lewis base: Electron pair donor
Bronsted acid: Proton (H+) donor
Bronsted base: Proton (H+) accepter
Arrhenius acid: Proton donor (same as bronsted acid)
Arrhenius base: produces hydroxide ions (OH-) (ie NaOH)
Lewis base: Electron pair donor
Bronsted acid: Proton (H+) donor
Bronsted base: Proton (H+) accepter
Arrhenius acid: Proton donor (same as bronsted acid)
Arrhenius base: produces hydroxide ions (OH-) (ie NaOH)
