A base.
A base is a compound that produces hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution.
All bases, or proton receivers. The definition of a base is that it either introduces hydroxide ions into solution because hydroxide ions are part of the compound, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or that it takes a proton (Hydrogen cation) away from water in solution, therefore forming a hydroxide ion from it (H2O ---> OH- ion)
Compounds that produce hydroxide ions in solution are called bases. Some common examples include sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). When dissolved in water, these compounds release hydroxide ions (OH-) which can react with acids to form water and a salt in a neutralization reaction.
A base in solution will produce hydroxide or OH- ions.
acid
The compound is a base.
A base does this. The hydroxide (OH-) ion appears in solution. An acid produces hydrogen (or hydronium) ions in solution, and not hydroxide ions.

It Produces a hydroxide ion
yes
A compound that forms hydroxide ions in solution is a base. Bases donate hydroxide ions (OH-) to the solution, increasing the concentration of hydroxide ions and raising the pH level. Examples of bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).
