The solution can be divided into three classes,i.e., acid, base and neutral solution :

1. Acid: Any substance that gives H⁺ ions when dissolved in water is called “acid.”Generally, they have a pH less than 7 in pH scale. Example HCl, HNO_3, etc

2. Base: Any substance that gives OH^- ions when dissolved in water is called as “base.”They have a pH more than 7 in pH scale. Example NaOH, NH₄OH,etc

3. Neutral: The solutions with an equal concentration of H⁺ and OH^-ions are called neutral solutions. They have a pH of 7in pH scale. Example: water
