A base is any substance that forms hydroxide ions in water.
A compound that forms hydroxide ions in solution is a base. Bases donate hydroxide ions (OH-) to the solution, increasing the concentration of hydroxide ions and raising the pH level. Examples of bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).
Solution. In this solution, the ions of the ionic compound are surrounded by water molecules, which help to separate and stabilize the ions in the solution. This dispersion of ions allows the solution to be clear and transparent, as the individual ions do not clump together to form a precipitate.
