protonatsiooni
Protonatsiooni is a chemical reaction where a proton, which is a hydrogen ion (H+), is transferred from one molecule or ion to another. The molecule that accepts the proton is called the base, and the molecule that donates the proton is called the acid. This process results in the formation of a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.
The concept of protonation is fundamental to acid-base chemistry. Brønsted-Lowry theory defines an acid as a
Protonation can occur in various chemical environments, including aqueous solutions, organic solvents, and even in the
