Acids are substances that produce hydrogen ions when added to water. Bases on the other hand will produce negative ions when added to water. Salts are formed as a mixture of acids and bases with the acids producing H+ ions and bases OH- ions.
Acids + Bases pretty much neutralise each other. They produce salt and water when mixed.
Acids form hydrogen ions (H+) that combine with water to form the hydronium ion (H3O+) and bases form hydroxide ions (OH-). To be exact: a hydrogen ion is an atom of hydrogen that has lost its electron. An acid is any substance that forms hydrogen ions in water. the hydroxide ion is polyatomic, made of oxygenand hydrogen. A base is any substance that forms hydroxide ions in water. The component ions of strong acids and bases completely dissociate.
Arrhenius defined bases as substances that dissolve in water to release hydroxide ions (OH-) into solution.
When bases dissolve in water, they usually form alkaline solution. An alkaline solution has a pH that is more than seven.
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.

For example, ionic compounds: inorganic acids, salts, bases; many organic compounds, etc.

An acid and a base will react to produce a salt and (usually) water.
It does react. It reacts with bases and acids to produce a salt and H3O or H2O
