What is the main difference between acids and base?
Acid compounds will donate hydrogen ions and base compounds will accept hydrogen ions.
Do bases release or accept hydrogen ions?
Bases accept hydrogen ions. Acids donate hydrogen ions.
What are substances that releases positively charged hydrogen ions while what are substances that accept positively charged hydrogen ions?
A compound that accepts hydrogen ions (which are always positive) is a Lewis Base. A compound that lets go of a hydrogen ion is a Lewis Acid.
How can you tell if a liquid is a base?
hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions....
Difference between a base and alkali?
A base in chemistry is a substance that can accept hydrogen ions(acids) or more generally, donate electron pairs. A soluble base is referred to as an alkali if it contains and releases hydroxide ions (OH−) quantitatively.Soluble- (of a substance) capable of being dissolved.

What is base in chemistery?
Base is a solution that have ph over 7 and can accept hydrogen ions.
Do bases release or accept hydrogen ions?

What accepts hydrogen ions?
It is a Base
What are qualities of acids?
Hydrogen ions, accept or donate
Substances that release ions that combine with hydrogen ions?
A base.

A substance that releases hydrogen ions in water is a base yes or no?
Electrolytes that release ions that combine with hydrogen atoms are called bases.
What is the physical basis of pH?
pH is an abbreviation of "pouvre hydrogen" French for 'hydrogen power.' The physical basis is pH is the ability to give off H+ ions (acid) or accept them (base)
A substance that combines with hydrogen ions?
