What is an acid?

An acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions or protons in a chemical reaction.

What is a base?

A base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions or donates hydroxide ions in a chemical reaction.

What is a salt?

A salt is a compound formed by the neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.

What is the pH scale?

The pH scale is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is. It ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral.
