| acid | A proton donor, when dissolved in water produces hydronium ions, pH of less than 7, sour taste, reactivity with metals. |
| base | A proton acceptor, when dissolved in water produces hydroxide ions, bittery taste, slippery feel, pH grater than 7. |
| buffer | A solution that resists changes to its pH. |
| concentration | The amount of solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent. |
| dissociation | The separation of ions in an ionic compound as the compound dissolves. The process which bases go through when dissolved in water. |
| electrolyte | A compound that produces ions when it dissolves. |
| hydronium ion | Produced as an acid is dissolved in water. |
| hydroxide ion | Produces as a base is dissolved in water. |
| indicator | A substance that changes color in the presences of an acid or a base. |
| ionization | The process by which neutral moelcules gain or lose electrons. The process that acids go through when they are dissolved in water. |
| neutralization | A chemical reaction between an acid and a base. |
| pH | A measure of the hydronium ion concentration of a solution. |
| proton acceptors | Bases are called this because the hydroxide ion will combine with a proton from the hydronium ion of an acid to form water. |
| proton donors | Acids are called this because they lose a proton to the hydroxide ion of a base to form water. |
| salt | An ionic compound (metal and non-metal) formed when an acid reacts with a base. |
