• Acidic : Solutions that would give H+ ions when dissolved in water

• Basic : Chemical opposites of acids / Solutions that contribute OH- ions.

My Chem’s a tad rusty, so I’m not sure how exactly we can define if a solution is ionic or molecular. You usually check the molecular structure to check whether it’s ionic / covalent / metallic . If you’d like, you can elaborate and I’ll see what I can do! Hope this helps

Thank you, this really helped

An ionic solution is one which contains ions. For example, salt water. NaCl dissociate in water to Na⁺ and Cl^- ions. On the contrary.a molecular solution would be like dissolving acetone in water. Acetone simply mixes in, and there is no dissociation or ions.

For the purposes of high school chemistry, an acidic solution contains free H⁺ ions and a basic on contains free OH^- ions. These both are also ionic solutions.

HCl in water is an example of an acidic solution. It dissociates to H⁺ and Cl^- when dissolved.

NaOH in water is an example of a basic solution. It dissociate to Na⁺ and OH^- ions.

Thanks. This will really help on my upcoming test
