Answer: hydroxide ions

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydronium ion or hydrogen ion  and a bases is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion .

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

As KOH can give hydroxide ions on dissociation , it is considered as arrhenius base.

KOH\rightarrow K^++OH^-

Which three statements about gravity and the formation of the solar system
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

B. Gravity held the pieces of forming planets together.

c. Gravity pulled most of the matter into the center of the solar system

D. Gravity caused the planets and Sun to have spherical shapes.

Explanation:

When a collection of grains pulled together by their gravitational forces would keep in by the gravity of a star, it would eventually became bigger to the point a planet was formed.

The sun's strong gravitational force pulled most of the matter around it to the center of the solar system.

The spherical shape of planets is a result of their gravity pulling equally from all sides, shaping it into a sphere.
