Compare and contrast the properties of acids and bases. Include two similarities and two differences.

Similarities

All acids and bases dissociate into ions, whether fully or partially, when dissolved in water Both are good conductors of electricity because they are made of electrolytes

Differences

Acids dissociate in water to create more H + ions that lower the pH of the solution while bases dissociated into OH - that increase the pH of the water Acids are mainly proton donors while bases are proton acceptors
