Detailed explanation-1: -An acid is a substance or compound that releases hydrogen ions (H+) when in solution. In a strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl), all hydrogen ions (H+), and chloride ions (Cl-) dissociate (separate) when placed in water and these ions are no longer held together by ionic bonding.

Detailed explanation-2: -Acids are chemical compounds that release hydrogen ions (H+) when placed in water. For example, when hydrogen chloride is placed in water, it releases its hydrogen ions and the solution becomes hydrochloric acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is because the water molecule readily takes up the liberated H+ion from the acids and forms a hydronium ion. Some compounds which are acidic and produces hydrogen ions in solutions are, HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, CH3COOH, etc. Hence, acids are the compounds that produce hydrogen ions in solutions.

Detailed explanation-4: -An acid produces hydrogen ions in solution because it reacts with the water molecules by giving a proton to them. When hydrogen chloride gas dissolves in water to produce hydrochloric acid, the hydrogen chloride molecule gives a proton (a hydrogen ion) to a water molecule.
