Answer:
An acid is a substance or compound
- that releases hydrogen ions (H+) when in solution.
- In a strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl), all hydrogen ions (H+), and chloride ions (Cl-) dissociate (separate) when placed in water and these ions are no longer held together by ionic bonding.
- In a weak acid, such as carbonic acid (H2CO3), only some of the ions dissociate into hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-), while others are still held together by ionic bonding
