Zuniga · Answer 1

A substance that can accept a hydrogen ion from another substance - a different type of base.

A substance that produces an excess of hydroxide ions (OH-) in aqueous solution - Arrhenius base

A substance that produces an excess of hydrogen ions (H+) in aqueous solution - Arrhenius acid

A substance that can donate a hydrogen ion to another substance. - a different type of acid.

Explanation:

Arrhenius defined an acid as any substance that produces hydrogen ion as its only positive ion when dissolved in water and a base as a substance which produces hydroxide ions as its only negative ion when dissolved in water.

This has informed the classification of definitions shown in the answer above.
