One definition of an acid is a molecule that can donate a H+ ion. So for example if you have an acid such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) in water, HCl will donate it's H+ to the H2O molecule, forming Cl- and H3O+.
In contrast, a base is a molecule that accepts H+ ions. This means a base such as NH3 reacts with H2O to form OH- and NH4.
So when pH is measured, it is the ratio of H3O+ ions to OH- ions. If there are more H3O+ ions, you then know that there are more acidic molecules in the solution, since they must be giving away their H+ ions.
So a solution with an acid in it will have more H3O+ ions (which can be described as H+ ions) in it. However, an acid by itself will have nothing to donate H+ ions to.

Answer:
I'm taking a guess here. Aluminum.
Explanation:
The best conductor of heat would be the material that melted the ice fast. A.K.A. the one with the least amount of minutes. Since aluminum has the least, it is the best conductor of heat
Answer:
Explanation:
Polarity is about differencens in electronegativity. CH bonds have around the same electronegativity value so a CH bond is nonpolar. The more CH bonds there are in a molecule, the more nonpolar it is. Since CH3CH2OH has more carbon-hydrogen bonds than CH3OH, it is more nonpolar. With the same reasoning, since CH3OH has less CH bonds, it's more polar.
Does the element have a different amount of electrons than protons?
