1
Q
Acid
A
Substances that donate hydrogen ions H+ to form hydronium ions H3O+ when dissolved in water
2
Q
Base
A
Substances that form hydroxide ions (OH-) when in water or accept H+ ions
3
Q
pH
A
Measure the concentration of H3O+ ions
4
Q
Neutral
A
- It does not ionize at all therefore no H+ or OH- ions
- It has equal concentrations (amounts) of H+ and OH- ions
5
Q
Strong (acid or base)
A
Ionize (break up into their ions) almost completely and conduct electricity well
6
Q
Weak (acid or base)
A
Do not completely ionize
7
Q
Hydronium ion
A
H3O+
8
Q
Concentration
A
Concentration deals with the amount of hydronium ions in the solution, compared to the amount of water in the solution 
9
Q
Hydroxide ion
A
OH-
10
