Three Theories Compared:

Theory Acid Base
Arrhenius Contains H; produces H⁺ ions in aqueous solution Contains OH group; produces OH⁻ ions in aqueous solution
Bronsted–Lowry Proton donor (H⁺) Proton acceptor
Lewis Accepts a share in an electron pair Donates a share in an electron pair

All Bronsted bases are Lewis bases, but not all Bronsted acids are Lewis acids.
