Salts | a compound formed when negative ions of an acid combine with positive ions from a base. |
Properties of Acids | - Acids taste sour - Acids are electrolytes (can conduct energy in a solution) - Acids are corrosive - Acids react with indicators to produce a predictable color change. |
Properties of Bases | - In an undissolved state, many are crystalline solids - Bases have a bitter taste - In a strong solution, bases feel slippery - Strong bases are corrosive - Bases react with indicators. |
