Mnemonic device for Bronsted Lowry theory of Acid and Base

Mnemonic Device for Bronsted Lowry Theory of Acid and Base.

Things to remember :
 According to Bronsted Lowry theory of Acid and Base:
1.      Acid = Proton Donor
2.      Base = Proton Acceptor

Mnemonic Device Type :
PMS

Mnemonic Device :
Remember Proton or positive charge as Hero and Electron or negative charge as Villian (Anti-Hero).

Remember Bronsted theory as Bruce Lee’s Theory. I hope everybody is familiar with Bruce Lee.

Everybody knows that Bruce Lee was hero.

Since Bronsted theory = Bruce Lee = hero this means that we are talking about the Hero. This implies that the theory talks about Proton.

Also, I think Acid as Hero and Base as Villain.

Since hero donates; which is Acid: it donates Proton. It is because Bronsted Lowry theory talks about the Positive i.e. Hero and Positive is Proton or positive charge.

Why will I remember? :
When you will hear Bronsted Lowry theory of acid and Base you will remember Bruce Lee. Then positive charge and proton. Then you can tell that Acid is also hero and base as Villain. Then Acid donates because it is hero. If acid donates than Base accepts.

  1. I had one more idea ... here it is

    Acid = proton donor ( remember the words A,P,D ... now use this word as PAD ...)

    Base = proton acceptor ( remember the words B,P,A ... now use this word as BAP which means father in hindi )

    This is my way sandyyyyyyyyyy...............:P
