Description
Acids and bases are two types of chemical substances with distinct properties. Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions (H⁺) when dissolved in water, and they tend to have a sour taste and turn blue litmus paper red. Bases, on the other hand, release hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in water, and they are typically bitter, slippery, and turn red litmus paper blue. Acids and bases can neutralize each other, forming water and a salt in a process called neutralization. The strength of an acid or base is measured by its pH, with acids having a pH less than 7 and bases having a pH greater than 7.
