Dear Zeus,

Common characteristics of protic solvents :

  • solvents display hydrogen bonding
  • solvents have an acidic hydrogen (although they may be very weak acids)
  • solvents are able to stabilize ions
    • cations by unshared free electron pairs
    • anions by hydrogen bonding

Examples are water, methanol, ethanol, formic acid, hydrogen fluoride, and ammonia.
