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

Usually involves poor decisions, limited memory retention, and a deep commitment to the Aussie art of day drinking.

Get the based mug.Refers to the Time-Based Simulation hypothesis. This hypothesis suggests instead of a big bang portions of the universe were sucked into an ultimate black hole so quickly that "time" was left separate from space-time.
This all encompassing "time" without space created a simulation of matter aka space. This allows for multiple dimensions, Quantum Tethering, and Time dilation due to time simulating previous space without an existing space to do so. This also restricts time within the Time-Based Simulation from creating a simulation within the simulation.
