Well, darling, acids and bases can exist in a crystalline solid form when they're not dissolved in a solution. So technically, you're right on the money with that statement. Just remember, they can also be in liquid or gas form depending on the conditions. Keep on rockin' with your chemistry knowledge!
Acids taste bitter.
Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions in water, bases are substances that release hydroxide ions in water, and salts are compounds formed from the reaction between an acid and a base. Acids typically have a sour taste, bases have a bitter taste, and salts are often crystalline solids. Acids react with bases to form water and a salt, a process known as neutralization.
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.
A chemical compound that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases is called a buffer. Buffers help to stabilize the pH of a solution by absorbing excess hydrogen or hydroxide ions, thereby minimizing changes in pH when strong acids or bases are added.

Yes, concentrated acids and bases are more corrosive than dilute acids and bases
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
bases neutralise the acids
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
acids and bases are important!
They don't dissolve (or more properly, dissociate) completely in water, only partially. Acids or bases that dissociate completely are called strong acids or bases.

Acids have a lower PH and bases have a higher PH.
Acids: H+ and Bases: OH-
The reaction between bases and acids is a neutralization reaction.
They either have a high concentration of H+ ions (acids) or OH- ions (bases). Strong acids and bases are also highly corrosive relative to weaker more neutral acids/bases.
