Acids Bases and pH Scale I. Acids *Acids are ionic compounds ( a compound with a positive or negative charge) that break apart in water to form a hydrogen ion (H+). *The strength of an acid is based on the concentration of H+ ions in the solution. The more H+ the stronger the acid. Example: HCl (Hydrochloric acid) in water Characteristics of Acids: **Acids taste sour **Acids react strongly with metals (Zn + HCl) **Strong Acids are dangerous and can burn your skin
