Bases are substances that can accept protons (H+ ions) in a chemical reaction. They are opposite to acids, which are substances that can donate protons. Bases are typically bitter in taste, feel slippery to the touch, and can turn red litmus paper blue. Examples of bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH), ammonia (NH3), and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2). Bases are commonly used in cleaning products, as well as in the production of various chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
