Arrhenius bases produce OH- ions by definition when dissolved in water. A Bronsted - Lowry base can produce OH- ions, but only has to produce a proton accepting group by definition. A Lewis base is defined as an electron donating group, which hydroxide ion is. So, basic compounds do produce OH- ions when dissolved in water, but not in all cases.

Many salts are also ionic compounds.


What compounds would produce a BASIC solution when dissolved in water?

Compounds such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) would produce a basic solution when dissolved in water. These compounds are strong bases that dissociate into hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution, increasing the concentration of hydroxide ions and resulting in a basic pH.

Why only ionic compounds would produce fluoride in water?

Ionic compounds are made up of positive and negative ions. When these compounds are dissolved in water, the ions separate and dissociate. Fluoride is a negatively charged ion that can be found in some ionic compounds like sodium fluoride (NaF). When these compounds are dissolved in water, fluoride ions are released, resulting in the presence of fluoride in the water.


Why doesn't chlorine produce a basic solution when dissolved in water?

Chlorine gas dissolves in water to form hydrochloric acid (HCl), not a basic solution. When dissolved in water, chlorine gas reacts with water to produce hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid, which is a weak acid. This reaction contributes to the acidic nature of the solution, rather than making it basic.
