If it produces hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water, it is considered a base. Examples would be sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and even ammonia (NH3) because
NH3 + H2O ==> NH4+ + OH-
A base as for example sodium hydroxide, NaOH.
A base such as Sodium Hydroxide

A base.
acids
Water molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other. These bonds form between the hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the oxygen atom of another water molecule. Hydrogen bonding is responsible for the unique properties of water, such as its high boiling point, surface tension, and the ability to dissolve many substances.
The compound hydrogen chloride, with formula HCl.
No, water is H2O therefore it has two hydrogens and one oxygen.
No. When in the form of water, hydrogen and oxygen form a compound, which is a pure substance.
Hydrogen plus Oxygen can make many different substances. For example, H2O is water. But H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide.
Chemical compounds called acids will do this.
surface tension

Hydrogen bonding is responsible for the unique properties of water, such as its high boiling point, surface tension, and the ability to dissolve many substances.
Water is not any kind of bond. Water is a molecule with polar covalent bonds occurring between the oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Water molecules can form hydrogen bonds between them or with other substances.
The molecules soluble in water if they form hydrogen bond with water.Hydrogen bond forms between hydrogen atom and another electro negativity atom of the another molecule then the substances dissolve in water
Acids are substances which, when dissolved in water, dissociate to form hydrogen ions (H+ ions). Since barium chloride does not contain hydrogen ions, it is not an acid.
No. It is a chemical change. Simply boiling water would be a change of state.
The compound hydrogen chloride, with formula HCl.
No, not all substances dissolve in water to form a solution. Cooking oil is a good example, if you mix with water it will remain separated and float to the top - it is less dense. Water would have to break almost all its intermolecular hydrogen bonds in order to accomodate it (which of course it doesn't), and therefore it does not form a solution. Solubility depends on what you are adding to the water. If you are adding an alcohol for example, it has O-H bonds which will readily form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules, and so dissolves. Water is also a polar solvent, so ionic substances will also tend to dissolve in it. Hope that helps!
substances that dissolve in water include, sugar, salt and others.
When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water, water is a product of the reaction.
Some very interesting properties appear with compounds that can form hydrogen bonds. These substances are capable of forming crystalline solids, and in liquid form exhibit surface tension, like water.
