Answer:Key difference: Acids and bases are two types of corrosive substances. Any substance with a pH value between 0 up to 7 is considered acidic, whereas a pH value of 7 to 14 is a base. Acids are ionic compounds that break apart in water to form a hydrogen ion (H+).
Explanation:
common examples include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, citric acid and ethanoic acid (vinegar/acetic acid). Bases are a group of substances that neutralise acids. Soluble bases are called alkalis.
