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.

In these contexts, the terms acid and base typically refer to the thermodynamic propensity of a substance to give and accept hydrogen ions while the terms nucleophile and electrophile refer to a substance's kinetic propensity to react with carbon-based Lewis acids and bases, respectively.

This definition covers Brønsted-Lowry proton transfer reactions, but also includes reactions in which no proton transfer is involved.

Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors, while Lewis bases are donors. This concept explains reactions like the classic example between borane BH3 and NH3, resulting in a coordinate covalent bond. The Usanovich acid-base concept extends this by including oxidation-reduction reactions.
