Bases ionize to produce OH- ions
To ionize is the same process as disassociate
Acids 
pH less than 7
Proton donor
Bases  
pH greater than 7
Proton acceptor
Acid reacts with water to produce H3O
Bases react with water to produce OH
Amphirotic  
Something that can be both an acid and a base
Strong acids conduct electricity better
Strong acids react faster
polyprotic 
when it can gain or lose more than one proton
