Which article are you evaluating?
Acid–base reaction

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

Acid-base reactions are very common in chemistry, and a concept I have a solid understanding of. Since I have a decent understanding, I can spend more time evaluating the quality of the article and less focusing on understanding the topic. My first impression was that the article summarized the topic well, but the article mentions in needs additional citations to verify.

(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

The lead section first sentence describes the article's topic concisely. The lead section describes some, but not all of the article's sections. No information is mentioned in the introduction that isn't elaborated on later. Lead appears overly detailed.

The content of the article is relevant to the topic. Information appears to be current. Information about the HH equation or buffers could be included and relevant to the topic. Each theory is neutrally discussed within the article. No notable equity gaps observed.

When looking at the note, the article does not appear completely neutral. Claims are made about the how specific each of the theories are in the lead. Viewpoints appear equally represented.

Links for the citations used work. Not all facts have appropriate, reliable references (more citations to reliable sources need to be added). Many sources come from publications by different authors in Journal of Chemistry. Small number of sources used.

The article is a level 3 article C-class. There are discussion about adding content, the name of the article, and unclarity in sentence structure. The Wikipedia article discusses more Acid-Base theories that I have previously heard in class. Theories I have heard in class, such as Lewis acid-base, Arrhenius acid-base, and Bronsted Lowry acid-base were discussed similarly.

My overall impression is the article provides a good, neutral summary on theories of acid-base reactions. Strength of the article is breadth of theories discussed. Increases the number of reliable citations could improve the article and changing the name to "Theories of Acid-Base Reactions", which more aptly describes the content discussed, could help improve the article.
