o electron acceptor.

o proton donor.

o proton acceptor.

Explanation:

According to the Brønsted - Lowry theory, an acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor. The theory focuses on the transfer of \(H^{+}\) (proton) in an acid - base reaction. Electron - related definitions are more associated with Lewis acid - base theory.

Question 9: proton donor.
Question 10: proton acceptor.
