Sunspots
These are substances with a high concentration of hydrogen ions, making them acidic in nature.

The ionosphere is the layer filled with electrically charged ions.
The ionosphere is the layer filled with electrically charged ions.
Bases have a lower concentration of hydrogen ions compared to acids. This is because bases donate hydroxide ions (OH-) which can combine with hydrogen ions (H+) to form water, reducing the concentration of free hydrogen ions in the solution.
An Arrhenius acid has only hydrogen ions in solution.
The pH scale indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. A lower pH value indicates a higher concentration of hydrogen ions, while a higher pH value indicates a lower concentration of hydrogen ions.
The more acidic a solution is, the more hydrogen ions it gives off.
If the solution is basic, there are more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. In an acidic solution, there are more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions. The balance between these ions determines the pH of a solution.
Electrolytes that release ions that combine with hydrogen atoms are called bases.
