Bases are the opposite of acids due to the fact they are a hydrogen ion acceptor and an acid is a hydrogen ion donor.
In the many definitions of bases and acids, bases do the opposite of what acids do.
-- In the Lewis definition, acids are electron pair acceptors while bases are electron pair donors.
-- In the Bronsted-Lowry definition, acids are substances that donate protons while bases are substances that accepts protons.
-- In practicality, acids lower the pH of a solution and bases increase the pH of a solution.
because acids donate H+ ions whereas bases accept H+ ions
Alkalies react with acids to form salts; alkalis have a pH over 7, acids have a pH under 7.
Acids are H+ donors, and bases are H+ acceptors.
Strong acids and strong bases are both usually corrosive.
acids are a liquid substencAcids donate hydrogen ions while bases do not, acids are not the ionic compounds while bases may be, acids do not contain metals while bases mostly have.
Yes. All bases neutralise acids.
Bronsted-Lowry
Alkalis (bases) react with acids to neutralize them, so in one sense, they can be considered as "opposite" of acids. Bases produce pH values >7 and acids produce pH values <7.
Acids are H+ donors, and bases are H+ acceptors.
Strong acids and strong bases are both usually corrosive.
The PH scale is the measurement of acids and bases. 8 and up are bases. 6 and lower are acids. 7 is neutral.
1) Bronsted-Lowry acids are proton donors. Bronsted-Lowry bases are proton acceptors. 2) Lewis acids are electron acceptors. Lewis bases are electron donors.
They are the bases. The opposite compounds of acids
1) Bronsted-Lowry acids are proton donors. Bronsted-Lowry bases are proton acceptors. 2) Lewis acids are electron acceptors. Lewis bases are electron donors.
1) Bronsted-Lowry acids are proton donors. Bronsted-Lowry bases are proton acceptors. 2) Lewis acids are electron acceptors. Lewis bases are electron donors.
Bases have the ion OH- and acids the ion H+; the reaction between acids and bases is called neutralization and the product is a salt. Basic solutions have a pH over 7 and acidic solutions have a pH under 7.

Yes, concentrated acids and bases are more corrosive than dilute acids and bases
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
