Example text
Scientists have long known that acids and bases are chemical opposites: acids taste sour, while bases taste bitter; acids turn litmus paper red, while a base will turn it blue. Acids and bases both dissociate in solution, but when they do, they release different types of ions. Acids An acid is any substance that releases a hydrogen ion (Hϩ) when dissolved in water. Because they relinquish an Hϩ ion, acids are sometimes called proton donors. FAST FACT The more hydrogen ions (Hϩ) produced, the stronger the acid.
