Acidic and alkaline solutions can conduct electricity because they have ions that are free to carry charge. Look at the formulae of these acids. They all contain H + ions.

Figure 1. Reference molecule for definition of Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases. Water behaves as both an acid and a base. When water behaves as an acid, it donates one of its two protons and becomes a ...

Researchers in Korea have successfully developed a new material that significantly enhances the efficiency of green hydrogen ...

A few drops of dilute sodium hydroxide solution react to form a white precipitate with aluminium ions, calcium ions and magnesium ions. However, if excess sodium hydroxide solution is added ...

The electrodes remove boron from desalinated water by splitting molecules into ions. Hydroxide ions bind to boron, which adheres to positive electrodes, ensuring safer drinking water production.
