congrats on reading the definition of Acids. now let's actually learn it.
Base: A substance that accepts hydrogen ions from solutions. It has a pH greater than 7.
pH Scale: A measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution where values below 7 indicate acidity and above 7 indicate basicity.
Neutralization Reaction: The reaction between an acid and base producing salt and water.
