- An **amphiprotic** acid/base is one that can **either accept or donate** $\ce{H+}$ depending on the situation.
- A **monoprotic** acid/base is one that can only accept/ionise one $\ce{H+}$ ion.

An **acid** and **base** are any two corrosive chemicals that react to form water and a salt. They also dissociate/ionise (depending on theory) in water to form electrolytes that conduct electricity.
