Ionization of acids produces hydrogen ions, and therefore, these compounds act as proton donors. In the same way, a few bases such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), lithium hydroxide (LiOH) too dissociate completely into their ions in an aqueous solution or medium. These bases are referred to as strong bases.
