Answer:

An acid is a molecule or ion capable of donating a proton, or, alternatively, capable of forming a covalent bond with an electron pair. The first category of acids are the proton donors, or Brønsted–Lowry acids.

Below in Bold


\underline{ \underline{ \red{ \large{ \tt{E \: X \: P \: L \: A \: N \: A \: T \: I \: O \: N}}}} }:

♨ The word ' acid ' is derived from the Latin word ' acidus ' which means sour. An acid is defined as the substance which gives hydrogen ions or protons ( H+ ) when dissolved in water. For example :

  • Hydrochloric acid
  • Sulphuric acid
  • Nitric acid
  • Carbonic acid
  • Acetic acid


\underline{ \underline{ \purple{ \large{ \tt{Extra \: Info}}}}} :

☃ Physical properties :

  • Acids have a sour taste. But some acids like steric acid, boric acid , salisylic acid do not have a sour taste. Laboratory acids are more corrosive , so they are dangerous to taste.
  • Acid turn blue colour of litmus paper into red and light yellow methyl orange into red. They make phenolphthalein colourless.

☂ Chemical properties :

  • Acids have a high dissolving power and dissolve many substances. Some metals like zinc and magnesium react with acids like dilute sulphuric acid and dilute hydrochloric acid to produce salt and hydrogen gas.
  • Acid react with base to give salt and water.
  • Acid gives H+ ions when dissolved in water.
  • Acid react with metallic carbonates to produce carbon dioxide.
