Acid are the substance that can donate protons like HCl,
H2SO4
HCl ======> H+ +
Cl-
H2SO4======> 2 H+ +
SO4(2-)
Both of them give out protons (H+) so they are
acid
Now Base are those substance whcih can give
hydroxide ions. example : NaOH, Ca(OH)2
NaOH =====>
Na+ + OH-
Ca(OH)2 =====> Ca2+ + 2
(OH)-
So both can given OH- ions so they are
base
