Understanding Acids and Bases: Key Vocabulary and Concepts

This guide provides essential vocabulary related to acids and bases, crucial for anyone interested in chemistry. It explains key terms such as neutral, bases, acidity, acids, alkalinity, and the pH scale. A neutral substance has a pH of 7, while acids (pH below 7) have a sour taste and react with bases to form salts. Conversely, bases (pH above 7) have a bitter taste and react with acids to also produce salts. The pH scale, ranging from 0 to 14, helps determine how acidic or basic a substance is.
