Answer:

An acid is any hydrogen-containing substance that is capable of donating a proton (hydrogen ion) to another substance. A base is a molecule or ion able to accept a hydrogen ion from an acid. Acidic substances are usually identified by their sour taste

Indicators are chemical compounds that tell us whether a substance is acidic or basic by changing its colour. When added to an acidic solution or a basic solution, indicators change their colour and this change in colour is different for the acids and bases. The indicator thus help us to decide whether a given solution is acidic or basic in nature.

The indicators that are obtained from plants are known as natural indicators.
