Solomon's acid-base theory

Solomon's acid-base theory describes acids as substances that can accept pairs of electrons, and bases as those that can donate electron pairs, focusing on their behavior in electronic terms. Instead of just thinking of acids as proton (hydrogen ion) donors and bases as proton acceptors, this theory emphasizes the transfer of electron pairs in chemical reactions. It provides a more detailed understanding of how acids and bases interact at a molecular level, especially in complex reactions, expanding traditional definitions to include a broader range of chemical behaviors based on electron movement.
