A substance that donates protons

A substance that accepts protons

Can act as either acid or base

Can donate or accept a proton

$\text{OH}^-$ and $\text{H}_3\text{O}^+$

By exactly one proton ($\text{H}^+$)

$\text{HSO}_4^-$ (its conjugate base)

$\text{H}_2\text{O}$ (forms $\text{H}_3\text{O}^+$)

$\text{NH}_3$ and $\text{NH}_4^+$

Every acid donation needs base acceptance
