An acid is a chemical substance that has a pH level lower than 7 and is capable of donating a proton or accepting an electron pair in a chemical reaction. Acids are typically sour-tasting and can react with metals to produce hydrogen gas. Examples of common acids include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and citric acid.

An acid is a chemical substance that:
- Donates protons (H+ ions) when dissolved in a solvent, usually water.
- Has a pH value less than 7 on the pH scale.
- Reacts with bases to form salts and water.
- Corrodes metals and can cause skin burns.
Key Characteristics of Acids:
- Protonic: Releases protons when dissolved in water.
- Electrolyte: Conducts electricity when dissolved.
- Acidity: Determined by the amount of protons released (measured by pH).
- Corrosive: Can damage materials (e.g., metals, skin).
- Sour Taste: Acidic solutions typically taste sour or tart.
Examples of Acids:
- Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
- Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
- Nitric acid (HNO3)
- Acetic acid (CH3COOH) (found in vinegar)
- Citric acid (found in citrus fruits)
