Acid

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 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.
