Acids:

Many acids are corrosive, meaning they destroy body tissue and clothing, and many are also poisonous. Acids react with some metals to produce hydrogen gas. Solutions of acids conduct an electric current because acids break apart to form inos in water.

Bases:

Like acids, many bases are corrosive. If you are using a base in an experiment and your fingers begin to feel slippery, it might mean that some of the base got on your hands. Solutions of bases conduct an electric current because bases for ions in water.

Hope this helps!

The properties of acids and bases are:

Acids : Sour, corrosive to metals and skin, PH of <7 and a POH of >7, turns blue litmus paper red, contains hydrogen (H+ ions), reacts with bases to form water and a salt

Bases : Bitter, slippery or soapy, PH of >7 and a POH of <7, turns red litmus paper blue, turns phenolphthalein pink/purple, contains hydroxide (OH- ions), reacts with acids to form water and a salt
