bases, eg sodium hydroxide
This is the definition of a base.
It accepts H+ ions.
Hydronium ions exist as H3O+ due to the tendency of water molecules to donate a proton (H+) and form a positively charged ion in aqueous solutions. This occurs when a water molecule accepts a proton from an acid, resulting in the formation of the hydronium ion.
Solutions with an equal concentration of H+ (hydrogen) ions and OH- (hydroxide) ions are considered as neutral. This is because the H+ and OH- ions will combine to form water (H2O), maintaining a balanced pH level of 7.
In aqueous solutions, the concentration of H⁺ ions (protons) and OH⁻ ions (hydroxide ions) is related to the pH of the solution. In acidic solutions, the concentration of H⁺ ions exceeds that of OH⁻ ions, leading to a lower pH. This imbalance occurs because acids release more H⁺ ions when dissolved in water. Conversely, in basic solutions, OH⁻ ions outnumber H⁺ ions, resulting in a higher pH.
Such a solution would be considered "neutral" - neither acidic nor alkaline (basic). It would have a pH of 7.
An arrhenius acid is, by definition, a solution with a higher concentration of H+ ion than OH-.

Yes, Na+ can only exist as an ion in a solution and, in the body, ions in solutions are called electrolytes.
False - such a solution is considered "neutral"...neither acidic nor alkaline (basic).
In water? If so - salt solution - the fllowing hydrated ions - H+, OH-, Na+, Cl- plus molecular H2O. Sugar solution - hydrated sugar molecules, molecular H2O and H+ and OH- hydrated ions
nah man. them acids has them lot. the H+ ions that is. but these basic solutions donate a massif amount of OH- ions compared to H+ ions when added to an aqueous solution.
