摘要

Recent publications by several leading philosophers of chemistry have focused on the definition, scope, utility, and nomenclature of issues dealing with acidity and basicity. In this paper, molecular orbital theory is used to explain all acid-base reactions, concluding that the interaction of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of one substrate, "the base," with the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of a second substrate, "the acid," determines the reactivity of such systems. This paradigm provides an understanding of all acid-base reactions as well as other reactions which, on the surface, may not seem like acid-base reactions but which have fundamental underpinnings of that kind of chemistry. Rather than being unable to determine a unified understanding of acidity and basicity as suggested in the philosophy of chemistry literature, we propose that acidity and basicity fit securely in a classification of many other reactions that, using classical chemistry knowledge, pre-quantum chemistry, would not be possible. We strongly support the use of all scientific knowledge and experience in the development of the ideas in the philosophy science. We further suggest increased interactions between philosophers of science and scientists, so that all scholars benefit from the values, knowledge, and perspectives of other disciplines.
