Answer» An\xa0acid\xa0is a substance that donates hydrogen ions. ... Now there are more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions in the solution. This kind of solution is\xa0acidic. A\xa0base\xa0is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions. When a\xa0base\xa0is dissolved in water, the balance between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions shifts the opposite way.\xa0An\xa0acid\xa0is a substance that donates protons (in the Brønsted-Lowry\xa0definition) or accepts a pair of valence electrons to form a bond (in the Lewis\xa0definition). A\xa0base\xa0is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond.\xa0Bases\xa0can be thought of as the chemical opposite of\xa0acids.
