    Answer is: They are often amines.

    For example, solution of methylamine (CH₃NH₂) in water.

    Balnced chemical reaction:

    CH₃NH₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇌ CH₃NH₃⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq).

    According to Bronsted-Lowry theory acid are donor of protons and bases are acceptors of protons (the hydrogen cation or H⁺).

    Methylamine (CH₃NH₂) is Bronsted base and it can accept proton and become conjugate acid (CH₃NH₃⁺).
