From a practical point of view on bases: it's slippery and it has a bitter taste--soap is basic. From a molecular point of view, bases are substance that produces hydroxide ions (OH-) in an aqueous solution. Acid is the opposite--as light is to darkness--and produces hydronium ions (H3O+) in an aqueous solution.

In chemistry, a base is a substance that can accept protons or donate electrons in a chemical reaction. Bases typically have a pH greater than 7 and can neutralize acids to form salts and water. Common examples of bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and ammonia (NH3).
a basic substance is a substance which contains a hydroxl (OH) group on it.
in contrast, an acid is a substance which contains a hydrogen (H) group.
For instance:
HCl - Hydrochloric acis
NaOH - Sodium hydroxide
H2O - Hydrogen Hydroxide (also known as "water")
H2O is both an acid and a base at the same time: That's why it's nuetral!

According to the general definition, base is any substance which gives OH- ions in water.
Selenium tetrafluoride.
In an acid-base reaction according to the Arrhenius definition, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, forming a conjugate base and a conjugate acid. The reaction results in the transfer of protons between the acid and base, leading to the formation of water or a salt depending on the specific acid and base involved.
acc. to this concept , acids are proton donor and base are proton acceptor . reverse of these reactions are also acid base pairs and the pairs are known as conjugate acid base pairs . .

According to the Arrhenius definition, a base is a substance that dissociates in water to produce hydroxide ions (OH-). In the case of potassium hydroxide (KOH), it dissociates in water to form potassium ions (K+) and hydroxide ions, thus fulfilling the criteria of being a base.

The major kinds of science include physical sciences (physics, chemistry, astronomy), biological sciences (biology, zoology, botany), earth sciences (geology, meteorology), and social sciences (psychology, sociology, economics). Each branch focuses on a different aspect of the natural world and human behavior.
