Chemicals {acid, chemistry} can accept electron pairs or donate protons. Acids donate protons {Brönsted acid}, accept electron pairs {Lewis acid}, or add hydrogen ions to water when they dissolve. Acids {polyprotic acid} can donate more than one proton.
properties
Acids taste sour, are colorless, and are corrosive.
production
Dissolving non-metallic oxide in water makes acid.
factors
For diatomic acids, acidity increases with negative-ion atomic weight. Acidity increases with increasing number of no-hydrogen oxygens around central atom.
acids
Common acids are nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, carbonic acid, phosphoric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, and other carboxylic acids.
