base

aqueous solutions are strong or weak electrolytes

acid

many metals react with this to produce H2 (single replacement rxns)

acid

most formulas begin with an H

acid

produce H ions in water solutions

acid

base

are electrolytes in aqueous solutions

base

any compound that dissacoiates in aqueous solution to form H ions

arrhenius acid

any compound that dissociates in aqueous solutino to form OH ions

arrhenius base

compounds that dissociate in aqueous solution releasing neither H ions nor OH ions

salts

substances that give away H ions

bronsted-lowry acid

substances that accept H ions

bronsted-lowry base

less than 100% ionized
