Acids are substances that, when dissolved in water, release hydrogen ions (H+). They are known for their sour taste and their ability to react with metals to produce hydrogen gas. An example of an acid is hydrochloric acid (HCl), which dissociates into H+ and Cl- ions when added to water.
Bases, on the other hand, are substances that, when dissolved in water, release hydroxide ions (OH-). They have a bitter taste and feel slippery to the touch. Bases can neutralize acids and are often used as antacids. An example of a base is sodium hydroxide (NaOH), which dissociates into Na+ and OH- ions when added to water.
