Acid base theories (Concepts):

Characters of acids:

(1) acids convert blue litmus to red and methyl orange  indicator to  red .
(2) Sour in taste.
(3) It liberate hydrogen gas with active metals.
(4) Acids neutralized the effect of base 
(5) acids increases the conduction of water.

Characters of bases:

(1) bases convert the red litmus to blue and methyl orange indicator to yellow.
(2) Phenylphthlene indicator (white) to pink.
(3) Bitter in taste and soapy in touch.
(4) Bases neutralised the effect of acid.
(5) They increases conductance of water.

Acid base concepts:

(1) Arrhenius acid base concept:


(2) Bronsted Lowery acid base concept:


(3) Lewis acid base concept:


(4) The Solvent System (Self or Auto Ionization of Solvent):


(5) The Lux-Flood Acids-base concept:


(6) The Usanovich Acid-base concept:


OXY ACIDS:


How to pridict cyclic structure given compound/oxy-acid:

 If  in given compounds number of substituents are integral multiple of central atoms (except P4O6,P4O10,P4S3,P4S10,(CH2)6N4,B4Cl4) the compounds  will be cyclic structure. And number of central atoms must be three (3) or more than three. 

Meta phosphoric acids and their salts always exist in dimeric, trimeric, tetrameric or in polymeric linear as well as cyclic form, not in monomeric form due to the presence of weak (2p-3d- pi bond) bond the sodium salts of trimer and hexamer is very famous salts.
