A material that releases protons or hydrogen ions in solution is said to be subject to the Brønsted–Lowry theory. It is a material that functions as an acceptor of electron pairs, according to the Lewis hypothesis. An acid with a *pH of less than 7 neutralizes, or combines with a base to form a salt and water.
acid-fast bacteria Some *bacteria belonging to the Actinomycetales order, such as *Mycobacterium species, do not get decolorized when treated with mineral acid again after being treated with specific dyes.
