Question

According to Arrhenius theory, bases are substances (or species) that generate hydroxyl ions OH- (aq). Identify the base which doesn’t follow the Arrhenius concept.

  1. NaOH
  2. NH3
  3. MgO
  4. KOH

The correct answer is: NH3


    Ammonia is a base, but it does not contain hydroxyl ions. Arrhenius concept does not give any explanation for it.
