Acids and Bases

Acids and bases are quite the opposites. Acids have a pH of 0 to 6, 7 is neutral, and 8 to 14 is a base. Some examples of strong acids are hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, weak ones are acetic acid and hydro fluoric acid. Some strong bases are sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide and some weak ones are ammonia and methylamine!
Acids are proton donors and bases accept protons. Acids have high hydrogen concentrations, while bases have high oxide concentrations!
