What does an arrhenius base do when it interacts with water? Does it release OH- ions, release a proton into water, release H+ ions? Or does it donate an electron pair?
An Arrhenius base is any substance that gives the OH⁻, or hydroxide ion when it dissolves in water. Arrhenius bases include ionic compounds that contain the OH⁻ ion, such as NaOH, KOH, and Ca(OH)₂.
