Contrasting properties of acids and bases

Acids give off H + (Hydrogen) ions in water; bases give off OH - (Hydroxide) ions in water. Acids generally taste sour due to the sour H + ion; bases taste bitter due to the OH - ion; but they may have other tastes depending on the other part of the molecule.
