Question 7 • Chemistry

Which statement describes covalent bases?

Answer
A
They are named the same as ionic compounds.
B
They are often amines.
C
They produce hydrogen ions.
D
They have hydroxide ions.

Explanation

Covalent bases are often molecules called amines, which can accept a hydrogen ion (H⁺) in a reaction. They are not named like ionic compounds, and they do not necessarily contain hydroxide ions. Producing hydrogen ions is characteristic of acids, not bases.
