An acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor (proton means Hydrogen ion in this case since H+ has lost one electron and therefore consists only 1 proton).Acids lower the pH of a solution and bases raise the pH of a solution. Acids and Bases are used in many neutralization reactions. Acids are also used to manufacture many fertilizers and Bases are used to make many detergents.

so acids give the protons while bases accept it, right??
