Not bad but there's some uncited material being
- The reverse of an acid–base reaction is also an acid–base reaction, between the conjugate acid of the base in the first reaction and the conjugate base of the acid. In the above example, acetate is the base of the reverse reaction and hydronium ion is the acid. One hallmark of the Brønsted–Lowry theory in contrast to Arrhenius theory is that it does not require an acid to dissociate.
- The essence of Brønsted–Lowry theory is that an acid only exists as such in relation to a base, and vice versa. Water is amphoteric as it can act as an acid or as a base. In the image shown at the right one molecule of H2O acts as a base and gains H+ to become H3O+ while the other acts as an acid and loses H+ to become OH−. Another example is furnished by substances like aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)3.
- According to the Lux–Flood theory, compounds such as MgO and SiO2 in the solid state may be classified as acids or bases. For example, the mineral olivine may be regarded as a compound of a basic oxide, MgO, with an acidic oxide, silica, SiO2. This classification is important in geochemistry.
It looks like there's more but those could likely be general references. Anyways, these will have to be fixed regardless. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:20, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- At the time of the last GA review (2014), there were general references. They were removed shortly after the review without an edit summary.. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:07, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep General references restored. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:16, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
