I do not agree with the statement that all compounds containing H atoms are acids and all compounds containing OH groups are bases. While many acids do contain H atoms and many bases do contain OH groups, there are exceptions to this rule.
For example, water (H2O) contains H atoms but is not considered an acid. Water is actually a neutral compound. Additionally, compounds such as methane (CH4) and ammonia (NH3) contain H atoms but are not acids. Methane is a nonpolar molecule and does not release H+ ions in solution, while ammonia is a weak base.
On the other hand, not all compounds containing OH groups are bases. For example, ethanol (C2H5OH) contains an OH group but is not considered a base. Ethanol is a neutral compound that does not release OH- ions in solution.
In summary, while many acids do contain H atoms and many bases do contain OH groups, it is not accurate to say that all compounds containing H atoms are acids and all compounds containing OH groups are bases.
