Base (chemistry)

The video tutorial explains the nature of bases, which are typically metal oxides, hydroxides, or carbonates. Bases accept hydrogen ions in reactions, producing hydroxide ions. While most bases are insoluble in water, those that dissolve form alkaline solutions with a pH greater than 7.
