Acids Bases and pH Scale. I. Acids *Acids are ionic compounds (a compound with a positive or negative charge) that break apart in water to form a hydrogen ion (H +). *The strength of an acid is based on the concentration of H + ions in the solution. The more H+ the stronger the acid.
A base is a substance that produces hydroxide ions, OH -1, when it dissolves in water. NH. Bronsted and Lowry Acids and Bases. An acid is the species (molecule or ion) that donates a proton to another species in a proton-tranfser reaction.ASE. -a compound that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH -1) when dissolved in water. -any species that can accept a proton (H +1). -base formulas are written with the hydroxide ion at the end of the formula.
