In chemistry, the term used to indicate a balance between acids and bases; the neutral point on the ph scale is 7.0 indicating the presence of equal numbers of free hydrogen (acidic) and hydroxide (basic) ions.
Base
A substance which releases hydroxyl ions when dissolved in water. Bases react with acids to form a neutral salt and water.
