Acids and bases have the following in common

  • Both Acids and bases release ions in water solution 
    • On dissolving in water, acids give H + ions .
    • On the other hand, bases give OH - ions on dissolving in water
  • Since both are capable of producing ions when dissolved in water, they are electrolytes
  • Since they are electrolytes, they are both capable of conducting electricity .
  • Both Acids and Bases undergo neutralisation reaction
  • Both Acids and Bases are organic, and inorganic
  • Both Acids and BAses change color of litmus paper
