We can classify the ion molecules as follows:
PO4^3- = Bronsted Base
ClO2- = Bronsted Base
NH4+ = Bronsted Acid
HCO3- = Both
H2PO4- = Both
For a Bronsted-Lowry acid and bases, an acid is a proton (hydrogen ion) donor. A base is a proton (hydrogen ion) acceptor. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
<span>Hydrogen ion, strictly, the nucleus of a hydrogen atom separated from its accompanying electron. Thehydrogen nucleus is made up of a particle carrying a unit positive electric charge, called a proton. The isolated hydrogen ion, represented by the symbol H +, is therefore customarily used to represent aproton.</span><span>

Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes helped him to discover the electron (which Dalton did not know about). Dalton thought that atoms were indivisible particles, and Thomson's discovery of the electron proved the existence of subatomic particles.
