An acid is a substance that turns litmus paper into red. It is a proton donor and releases hydrogen positive ions or H+.
Active transport.
Gravity driven circulation
Many polar molecules and ions with the assistance of transport proteins.
Facilitated diffusion
Negative hydrogen ions in the sun's atmosphere produce a diamond-type ring that is seen primarily during total solar eclipses. This can make a solar eclipse look hazy.
Ionic bond between sodium ions and hydroxide ions.
Not simple to answer - acidic solutions contain more hydrogen ions that hydroxide ions, but there are very many ions that can cause hydrogen ions to be in excess - for instance the hydrogen-sulphate ion (from an acid salt such as sodium hydrogen-sulphate) when added to water has a tendancy to split into hydrogen and sulphate ions, so making the solution acidic. Not all acid salts are acid in soultion - for instance sodium hydrogen-carbonate is alkaline. When dissolved in water, the hydrogen-carbonate ion tends to react with hydrogen ions in the water to form molecular carbonic acid - removing hydrogen ions from the water and hence making it alkaline. Acid salts of strong acids, such as sulphuric, hydrochloric, nitric, are acidic in solution. Acid salts of weak acids, such as carbonic, sulphurous, are alkaline in solution. Just a few simple examples.
