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, although some may also have carbon or oxygen. When an acid is put into water, it will loose its H, a process called aqueous dissonance. The H may then react further.

An '''acid''' is a [[molecule]] that donates H⁺ [[ions]] ([[proton]]s) 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. When an acid is put into water, it will loose its H⁺, a process called aqueous dissonance. [[Strong acid]]s are those that completly give up their protons in solution, whereas [[weak acid]]s reach an equilibrium concentration of H⁺ in solution.
