Bases usually have an extra unpaired set of electrons which makes them nucleophiles. They are attracted to positive centers. They can also accept a proton.

Acids and bases.
It is usually the longer of the parallel sides.

You can identify a base by tasting or touching it - bases have a bitter taste and feel slippery or soapy to the touch. In addition, bases turn red litmus paper blue and have a pH greater than 7. Common examples of bases include soap, baking soda, and ammonia.
You can use litmus paper to identify the acids and bases.
Acid base indicators are used to identify acids and bases. Among the common indicators are;PhenolphthaleinMethyl redMethyl orangeBromothymol blue
Bronsted-Lowry acids donate protons (H) and bases accept protons. Acids have a hydrogen atom that can be donated, while bases have a lone pair of electrons to accept a proton.
for one never taste it but, you will need an acid-base indicator to identify it...you can thank me later
To identify a base from its chemical formula, look for hydroxide ions (OH-) in the formula. Bases typically contain hydroxide ions, which give them their characteristic properties.
A compound could be caustic and burn your mouth and tongue.
Litmus paper is a substance that changes color in the presence of acids or bases. Acids turn litmus paper red, while bases turn it blue. By observing the color change, you can identify whether a substance is acidic or basic.
