The video tutorial explores three definitions of acids and bases: Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis. The Arrhenius definition focuses on acids donating hydrogen ions and bases producing hydroxide ions in water. The Bronsted-Lowry definition describes acids as proton donors and bases as proton acceptors, applicable outside of water. The Lewis definition involves acids accepting electron pairs and bases donating them, relevant in organic chemistry. The video emphasizes that these definitions offer different perspectives on acids and bases, and a compound can fit multiple definitions. Viewers are encouraged to explore further resources and ask questions.
