<span>Answer: Potassium hydroxide, KOH, is considered a BASE in an acid-base reaction because it ACCEPTS a hydrogen ion from the other reactant.
According to </span><span>Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, Base is a specie which accepts proton (H</span>⁺) while, Acid is a specie which donate proton.
Bases may contain a negative charge or lone pair of electrons, while, Acids contain positive charge or a neutral atom with incomplete octet.
In given statement KOH is acting as a base because it contains a negatively charged hydroxyl group which can accept proton from a acid, i.e.
KOH → K⁺ + OH⁻
Reaction of OH⁻ with any acid,
K⁺ + OH⁻ + HCl → H₂O + KCl
<span>will they contain the same number of protons as electrons. By the meaning, an "ion" is an electrically charged particle produced by either removing electrons from the neutral atom to give a positive ion or adding electrons to a neutral atom to give a negative" ion".
hope i helped :)

Answer is: B₂O₃ + Mg → B + MgO.
B₂O₃ + 3Mg → 2B + 3MgO, balanced.
B₂O₃ - diboron trioxide. White, glassy solid compound.
B - boron. Metalloid, crystalline boron is and amorphous<span> boron is a brown powder.
Mg - magnesium. S</span><span>hiny, gray and solid metal.
MgO - magnesium oxide. W</span><span>hite, </span>hygroscopic<span> solid powder.</span>
