ACIDS can be defined as

-compounds producing H+ when in aqueous solutions

-proton donors

-02- acceptors

-electron acceptors

BASES can be difined as

-compounds producing OH- when in aqueuos solutions

-proton acceptors

-02- donors

-electron donors

SALTS can either be an acid or a base depending on what reactions it is involved in.this is true as it can produce both a proton (H+) or a hyroxyl group (OH-). It can be a product from the reaction of a base an an acid.( NaOH + HCI = NaCI
