Best Answer

Arrhenius bases produce OH- ions by definition when dissolved in water. A Bronsted - Lowry base can produce OH- ions, but only has to produce a proton accepting group by definition. A Lewis base is defined as an electron donating group, which hydroxide ion is. So, basic compounds do produce OH- ions when dissolved in water, but not in all cases.

No.

Compounds such as NaOH are basic

BUT

Compounds such as H2SO4 and carboxylic acids (R-COOH) are acidic
