One of the main theoretical objections has been that the energy distribution amongst the immobilised constituents of a crystalline reactant is not represented by the maxwellboltzmann equation. The theory of acids and bases, like many other chemical theories, has undergone numerous changes in recent times. It is important to think of the acidbase reaction models as theories that complement each other. Arrhenius theory, 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, and that bases ionize in water to yield hydroxide ions. Arrhenius ionic theory of solutions states that certain substances produce freely moving ions when they dissolve in water, and these ions conduct an electric current in solution.

An acid is a substance that, when added to water, increases the concentration of hydronium ions, h3o because arrhenius regarded acidbase reactions as occurring only in water, he frequently called the hydronium ion a hydrogen ion, h an h. The theory of acids and bases royal society of chemistry. This acidbase theory was a revival of oxygen theory of acids and bases, proposed by german chemist hermann lux in 1939, further improved by hakon flood circa 1947 and is still used in modern geochemistry and electrochemistry of molten salts.
