Is this true?? Correct??

According to the bronsted-lowry definition of acids and bases..

A base is a negative ion or polar molecule with a lone pair, acid has very electronegative H bonded.

Is this correct?

A base is a negative ion or polar molecule with a lone pair, acid has very electronegative H bonded.

Although these may be characteristics of Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases, the actual definition of a Brønsted-Lowry acid is, simply put, a proton donor, and a Brønsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor.

To accept a proton, the base normally has a lone pair, but this is not part of the definition. The base doesn't have to be a negative ion, although the conjugate base of an acid normally has a negative charge. As for an acid, HI is very acidic, but iodine is not 'very' electronegative.
