The first of these was proposed in 1923 by the Danish chemist Johannes Brønsted and the English chemist Thomas Lowry, and has come to be known as the Brønsted-Lowry definition of acidity and basicity.

This is a big step: we are, for the first time, taking our knowledge of organic structure and applying it to a question of organic reactivity.

Complex ions are examples of Lewis acid-base adducts. In a complex ion, we have a central atom, often consisting of a transition metal cation, which acts as a Lewis acid, and several neutral molecules or ions surrounding them called ligands that act as Lewis bases. Complex ions form by sharing electron pairs to form coordinate covalent bonds.

Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors, while Lewis bases are donors. This concept explains reactions like the classic example between borane \(BH_3\) and \(NH_3\), resulting in a coordinate covalent bond. The Usanovich acid-base concept extends this by including oxidation-reduction reactions.

Its atomic number is 9 and its atomic weight is 19, and it's a gas at room temperature. It is the most electronegative element, given that it is the top element in the Halogen Group, and therefore is very reactive. It is a nonmetal, and is one of the few elements that can form diatomic molecules (F2).
