acids
Low-pH compounds
Acids are chemical compounds that release hydrogen ions in solution, taste sour, and react with bases to form salts.
Vinegar contains acetic acid; citrus fruits contain citric acid.
Strong acids like sulfuric and hydrochloric are corrosive.
In slang, acid is LSD, and the plural acids may refer to doses: He dropped two acids at the concert.
