Bases

A base emits male charge (electron in Physics) or absorbs a female charge. We can say that acids are male.

An example is Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) which we notate as 11-8-1.

It disolves in water 1(2)-8 to form:

  • 11(1♀)
  • 8-1(1♂)

The resulting qor (electron) cancels out the existing som (proton). This then raises the pH of water.

Common bases are:

Name Notation Use
Sodium Hydroxide 11-8-1 Caustic Soda
Calcium Hydroxide 20-8-1 Cement
Ammonia 7-1(3) Cleaners

The more males there are per unit, the stronger the base.
