What are some examples of a base? (I mean as a science term)?

Milk, bleach, Maalox, Tums, chalk...anything that neutralizes an acid.

Well, there's been much speculation whether another element would be able to be the "base" for a life form. Silicon is indeed one theory. However, I have also heard speculation that life without carbon is impossible. \n\n   Carbon is probably the most versatile element there is. There is an infinite variety and number of life forms that could be made out of it. It's structure allows many shapes of carbon to form, rings, and chains, and more, and it allows lots different molecules and elements to hook on to the structure. Seeing as all life forms i know of are formed out of only Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and sulpher, the ability to make proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and fats out of these elements is essential, and something like silicon probably wouldn't do it.

HNO3\n\nIf you couldn't answer this question, you must be a real noob in chemistry!!  Well, for other times, here's the way to differentiate betwee acids and bases.\n\nAcids:   acids can be easily identified by the hydrogens they contain.  Most acids have their hydrogen in the beginning of their formula.  HNO3 can be easily identified as an acid: it is commonly called nitric acid.\n\nBases:  most bases can be identified by the (OH) group at the end of their formula... therefore, we can immediately label b) and d) as bases.   \n\nNow here, NH3 is kind of tough to define with the definitions given above.   I believe that the proper explanation is out of your scope for know (from what I can deduce).   So, you'll learn that later on.  But for your info, NH3 is ammonia, the stuff they use in cleaning fluids, and it is basic.\n\nHope this helps.

What, like your question? try giving a few examples...

A) is wrong because acids produce hydrogen ions, wich are positive\nB) is wrong because bases produce hydroxide ions\nC) is just strange\nD) is strangly worded too, but nothing is inherently wrong with that sentence\n\nSo, I'd go with D

Base is the dimension along the bottom of the object.\n\nHowever, your equation only applies to parallelograms.

The Bronsted Lowry Theory of acids and bases is the receiving (base) or the donating (acid) of a "proton" - in effect a Hydrogen ion H+\n\nThe Bronsted-Lowry definition is named for Johannes Bronsted and Thomas Lowry, who independently proposed it in 1923. A Bronsted-Lowry (BL) acid is defined as any substance that can donate a hydrogen ion (proton) and a Bronsted-Lowry base is any substance that can accept a hydrogen ion (proton). Thus, according to the BL definition, acids and bases must come in what is called conjugate pairs. \n\nFor example, consider acetic acid dissolved in water: \n\nCH3COOH (l) + H2O (l) <=> CH3COO-(aq) + H3O+(aq)\n\nBL acid       BL Base     Conjugate base  Conjugate Acid\n\nThe presence of H3O+(aq) in concentrations greater than OH-(aq) is characteristic of a solution (in water) which has a pH less than 7 when you are dealing with normal acid-base theory\n\nBronsted Lowry does not consider the concentrations of either; simply the transfer of the H+.\n\nCheck the link for more info - it is easier to read and a good explanantion

EXAMPLE #1 CHEMISTRY & BIOLOGY; \n\nGrowth: N(t) = n0e^(kt)         "n=number, k=rate, t=time"\n\nDecay: M(t) = m0(1/2)^(t/h)       "m=mass, t=time, h=half-life"\n\nEXAMPLE #2 BUSINESS & ECONOMICS;\n\nCompound interest \nwith e,"continuous":  P(t) = p0e^(rt)     "p=principle, r=rate, t=time"\n\nEXAMPLE #3 SOCIAL SCIENCES;\n\nPopulation Growth: P(t) = p0e^(kt)  "p=populaton, k=rate, t=time"\n\nThese are a VERY few examples of the uses of e(exponential) in everyday life. As we go further in the mathematics/science field we'll encounter more highly sophisticated usefullness of e.\n\nP.S. the letters used to symbolize subject may differ from individuals point of view but the function of growth & decay is mathematically the same.

In the Brønsted-Lowry classification, any chemical species, ionic or molecular, capable of accepting or receiving a proton (hydrogen ion) from another substance. The other substance acts as an acid in giving up the proton. A substance may act as a base, then, only in the presence of an acid. The greater the tendency to accept a proton, the stronger the base. The hydroxyl ion acts as a strong base. Substances that ionize in aqueous solutions to produce the hydroxyl ion (OH), such as potassium hydroxide (KOH) and barium hydroxide [Ba(OH)2], are also conventionally called bases.\n\nAny compound having highly basic properties, strong acrid taste, and ability to neutralize acids. Aqueous solutions of alkalies are high in hydroxyl ions, have a pH above 7, and turn litmus paper from red to blue. Caustic alkalies include sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), the sixth-largest-volume chemical produced in the United States, and potassium hydroxide. They are extremely destructive to human tissue; external burns should be washed with large amounts of water. The milder alkalies are the carbonates of the alkali metals; these include the industrially important sodium carbonate (soda ash) and potassium carbonate (potash), as well as the carbonates of lithium, rubidium, and cesium, and the volatile ammonium hydroxide. Sodium bicarbonate is a still milder alkaline material.\n\nIn Summary base is a general word (carbonates, hydroxides ...of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, Transition metals) and alkali is used specifically for carbonates, hydroxides... of alkali group metals.

A rough example as follows:\n\nQuestion: What happens to ICE when you PLACE IT IN WARM WATER?\n\nHypothesis: IT TURNS INTO LIQUID.\n\nMaterials: ICE, CONTAINER, WARM WATER.\n\nSteps: 1.  FILL CONTAINER HALF WAY WITH WARM WATER.\n       2.  PLACE ICE IN CONTAINER.\n\nObservations:  I OBSERVED THE ICE MELT.  THE ICE TRANSFORMED FROM A SOLID TO A LIQUID.\n\nConclusion: ICE A SOLID CAN TRANSFORM INTO WATER A LIQUID WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF INCREASED TEMPERATURE.

an easy example you can remember is H2O(water).\nif u want a more difficult one, u can use CH3COOH(acetic acid)!\n\nALL DE BEST!
