What is a base?

Kia Ora readers welcome back to my blog, I hope you are all well today I am going to be blogging about what a base is in chemistry science. 

An acid is a substance that has a Hydrogen H atom that can react. 

For example:

*Nitric acid- HNO3
*Sulfuric acid- H2SO4
*Hydrochloric acid- HCl

A base is the opposite of acid and has OH (hydroxide) that can react. A base consists of oxygen and hydrogen atoms that are held together by a covalent bond. When an acid and a base react, they NEUTRALISE each other.
