An Acid is a [[molecule]] that donates <math>H^+</math> [[ions]] in a chemical reaction.  Acids taste sour (although, in a laboratory, '''never''' taste an acid; they can be highly corrosive) and turn blue litmus paper red.  Acids are covalent compounds, but when dissolved in [[water]], they will conduct electricity.  The majority of acids have [[Hydrogen|H]] as their first molecule.

When an acid is put into water, it will loose its H, a process called aqueous dissonance. The H may then react further.
