Bases gain hydrogen ions (H⁺) in solution. When a base dissolves in water, it either accepts H⁺ ions or produces hydroxide ions (OH⁻), which can react with H⁺ ions to form water. This process results in a decrease in the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution, making it more basic.
What else can I help you with?
What are ions and under what conditions are they produced?
When atoms gain or lose electrons.
Do ion share electrons with other atoms?
Ions do not share electrons with other atoms. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Positive ions (cations) lose electrons, while negative ions (anions) gain electrons.
Why do atoms change to ions?
Because they either lose or gain valence electrons.
How element form ions that have a stable atomic structure like that found in a noble gas?
Ions are formed when elements gain or lose electrons.
How do positive and negative ions forms?
Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions. Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
Do acids lose or gain hydrogen ions?
Acids lose hydrogen ions when they donate them in a chemical reaction, making them stronger acids.
What do ions gain or lose?
Electrons
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Do nonmetals gain or lose ions?
Yes. They can do both.
When water is broken down what happens to the oxygen and hydrogen atoms?
Water (H20) is made up of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-). When water is broken down (e.g. through electrolysis), OH- ions lose electrons to form oxygen gas and water. 4OH- --> 2H2O + O2 + 4e. The H+ ions on the other hand gain electrons to form hydrogen gas. 2H+ + 2e --> H2 Water (H20) is made up of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-).

Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
Do nonmetals lose electron when they form ions?
No. They gain electrons
When atoms or molecules gain or lose electrons they can be best described as what?
When atoms or molecules gain or lose electrons, they are best described as becoming ions. Ions are charged particles that are formed through the process of gaining or losing electrons.
What ion does an acid release?
An acid is defined as a substance that dissociates to lose hydrogen ions; however they typically react with positive ions to form salts e.g. some soaps are made from a large tri-acid gaining sodium ions.
What will be the charge for hydrogen when it becomes ions?
The ionic charge of a hydrogen ion can be -1 in compounds of hydrogen with very active metals such as sodium but will be +1 in most other compounds that contain hydrogen ions.
Would argon lose or gain an electron?
Neither. It does not form ions.
What are ions and under what conditions are they produced?
When atoms gain or lose electrons.
