The Arrhenius theory explains the behavior of
(1) acids and bases
(2) alcohols and amines
(3) isomers and isotopes
(4) metals and nonmetals


Sagot :

the correct answer is acids and bases
the arrheius theory, introduced in 1887 by the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius, that acids are substances that dissociate in water to yield electrically charged atoms or molecules, called ions, one of which is a hydrogen ion (H+), and that basesionize in water to yield hydroxide ions (OH−). It is now known that the hydrogen ion cannot exist alone in water solution; rather, it exists in a combined state with a water molecule, as the hydronium ion (H3O+). In practice the hydronium ion is still customarily referred to as the hydrogen ion.
