Bases can dissociate in water to release ions other than hydroxide. For example, sodamide (NaNH2) releases sodium cations and anionic amide ions (NH2-). Only salts containing hydroxide dissociate to release hydroxide ions (i.e. NaOH).
However, the released ion can then react with water to form hydroxide ions. In the case of sodamide, the amide ion reacts with water to produce ammonia and hydroxide ions. Note that the hydroxide is not formed directly by dissociation of the salt, but in a subsequent acid-base reaction.
PLATO: hydrogen ions
yes they do and bases release hydroxide ions
yes

Arrhenius defined bases as substances that dissolve in water to release hydroxide ions (OH-) into solution.
hydroxide ions
Hydroxide ions -aidan urbina=]
Acids
PLATO: hydrogen ions
A dissociated acid release hydrogen cations.
Acids release hydrogen+ ions (H+) when dissolved in water
yes they do and bases release hydroxide ions
acids release hydrogen ions bases release hydroxide ions
Sodium react with water and release hydrogen.Sodium hydroxide is also formed. Calcium hydroxide remain unchanged.
