An acid/base definition that suggests an Brønsted–Lowry acid is any molecule that can donate a proton, and a Brønsted–Lowry base is any molecule that accepts the proton. Protons can be referred to as H+ or "hydrogen ions," so if you see those terms used in a textbook they all mean the same thing. When a Brønsted–Lowry acid gives its proton away, it is "deprotonated" and can now accept a proton; now that it has become an acceptor, it is referred to as a conjugate base. The same rule applies to Brønsted–Lowry bases: once they gain a proton (are protonated), they are known as conjugate acids.
student: i'm a little confused with this functional group. the reading says that the carboxylic acid (COOH) group loses its proton, H, making the formula COO−. now that there's a space on the oxygen that's vacant, could the group accept a proton in the empty space? wouldn't that make the group a base?
teacher: yeah, acids turn into things known as conjugate bases when they lose hydrogen ions. the space where a proton used to be is now available for bonding, and the group or molecule becomes a proton acceptor/Brønsted–Lowry base
that's how you use the Bronsted-Lowry/Brønsted–Lowry Acid-Base Theory

Get the basedmug. Based is anything unique, standing with the truth whatever the world thinks or does, standing for the truth, and not following the path like a sheep, maybe the road not taken that has made all the difference. Based also means showing positive masculinity wherever possible, risking your own life for someone needing help as when shit hits the fan, no one hides behind a feminist, and keeping in mind that being based doesn’t include simping or being chivalrous to get the h*le.

Example 1: Woody Harrelson is based
Example 2: Lady ‘kidnapped by fake Uber driver’ rescued by disturbing note handed to stranger
Example 3: ‘Dad fixing a heart he didn’t break’: My boyfriend broke up with me a week before our European holiday – so my dad came instead
Example 4: ‘I got home to find someone parked in my drive – so I ruined their weekend’
