What kind of ions is associated with bases?

Bases typically produce hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. These ions are responsible for the alkaline properties of bases and their ability to accept protons.


What kind of ions do bases have a lot of?

Generally OH- ions. But there are bases without OH- ions.


What kind of ions do bases form?

Bases typically form hydroxide ions (OH-) when they dissolve in water. These hydroxide ions are responsible for the basic properties of the solution.


What kind of ions does a base substance form in water?

A base substance forms hydroxide ions (OH-) in water. This occurs when the base substance donates OH- ions to the water molecules, increasing the concentration of hydroxide ions in the solution.


What kinds of ions do acids and bases form in water?

Acids form hydrogen ions (H+) in water, while bases form hydroxide ions (OH-) in water. In addition to the hydrogen and hydroxide ions, acids and bases can also form other ions depending on the specific chemical composition of the acid or base.

A base has more what kind of ions than does a neutral solution?

A base has more hydroxide (OH-) ions than a neutral solution. This is because bases generally release hydroxide ions when they dissociate in water.


What kind of ions are produced in a solution containing an acids?

an acid is something dissolved in water to produce H+ ions.
