On the metric scale, they would be units like meter, liter, gram and second. If you have the stairs it looks like this:
_K__
_H__
_D__
__BASE__
Meter (m)
Gram (g)
Liter (l)
Second (s)
__d__
__c__
__m__
The other units (not under the BASE) are called derived units. K is kilo, H is hecto, D (or da) is deka, d is deci, c is centi, and m is mili. You can add base units to these
Ex.
Kilograms

∙ 12y agoA practical definition might include:
they taste bitter
are good electrolytes in solution (assuming you have a soluble base)
change the colour of indicators
feel slippery
a more technical definition might include either or both of these definitions:
bronsted lowry: they are proton acceptors (a proton is a hydrogen atom lacking an electron)
lewis: they are electron pair donors (electrons are generally found in pairs around an atom)
