Bronsted-Lowry concept : In accordance to this concept,

An acid is defined as a substance which has the tendency to give a proton (H⁺) and a base is defined as a substance which has a tendency to accept a proton. Or we can say that, an acid is a proton donor whereas a base is a proton acceptor.

(i) HCl and CH₃COOH are acids because they donate a proton to H₂O.(ii) NH₃ and CO₃^2- are bases because they accept a proton from water.

In reaction (i), in reverse process of it, H₃O⁺ can provide a proton and thus is an acid while Cl^- can accept the proton and hence is a base. Therefore there are two acid-base pairs in reaction (i). These are HCl - Cl^- and H₃O⁺- H₂O. These acid-base pairs are called conjugate acid-base pairs.

Conjugate acid ? Conjugate base + H⁺

Conjugate base of a strong acid is a weak base and vice a versa. Weak acid has a strong conjugate base and vice a versa.
