Bases

A base's characteristics are:
- feels slippery
- strong bases can be dangerous and burn your skin
- tastes bitter
- react with oils and greases
- frequently solids

The higher on the PH Scale the more alkaline it is. Some examples of bases are baking soda, cleaning products such as bleach, and ammonia.




(Bleach is a base because it reacts with grease and oils to remove them from areas around your home)
