All three apply to aqueous solutions.
- Arrhenius: specifically designed for aqueous systems — acids produce H+ (H3O+) and bases produce OH− in water (e.g., HCl → H3O+, NaOH → OH−).
- Brønsted–Lowry: proton donors/acceptors; applies in water and covers more cases than Arrhenius (e.g., NH3 is a Brønsted base in water even though it is not an Arrhenius base).
- Lewis: electron-pair acceptor/donor; the most general concept and also applies in water (e.g., metal cations hydrolyze as Lewis acids, or BF3 can accept a lone pair from H2O).
