I Background
What is Arrhenius (Ostwald) Theory?
What is Arrhenius acid and Arrhenius
base?
Acid - proton donor, Base hydroxide
donor
What is the core concept of Arrhenius
Theory?
What is ionization theory?
Why is water special to Arrhenius Theory?
What is self-ionization?
Are there other substances that can have
self ionization?

2 Energetically, HOMO are often low-lying and
LUMO are often high lying.
3 The donor atom that has less s-character or
more p-charcater has stronger basicity.

Ralph G. Pearson suggested the term hard for
the metal ions of Class (a) and their
corresponding bases; soft for the metal ions of
Class (b) and their corresponding bases.

Some determined PA (kJ/mol):
For N3, 3084; NH2, 2565; NH2, 1689 (charge

NH3, 872; NF3, 604; Me3N, 974 (inductive effect)
Difference between NH3 and NF3 is 268 kJ/mol;
between PH3 and PF3 is only 106, but DEN is
larger for PF. This is attributed to the
resonance effect, thus the charge in PF3H+ is
substantially delocalized.
