base
a substance capable of combining with charged hydrogen atoms (ions) to form a salt. A typical base is sodium hydroxide (caustic), with the chemical symbol NAOH. For example, sodium hydroxide combines with hydrochloric acid to form sodium chloride (a salt) and water; this reaction is written chemically as NAOH + HCI NACI + H2O4.

Base
chemical definition - a substance that ionizes in water to produce OH- ions. Base solutions have OH- densities >1E-7 (pH > 7). See also, acid, alkali. Electrical definition - the base is a middle region in a bipolar transistor of one semiconductor type, separating the emitter and collector of the bipolar transistor that are of opposite semiconductor type. For example an NPN transistor would have a P base region separating the N emitter and N collector.

Base period
A point in time used as a reference point for comparison with some later period. For example, in the theory of price indices the Laspeyres price index uses the earlier of the two years over which prices are compared for purposes of weighting the relative price changes. This earlier year is then the base period and the price index is a base period weighted index.

1. In the numeration system commonly used in scientific notation, the real number that is raised to a power denoted by the exponent and then multiplied by the coefficient to determine the value of the number represented without the use of exponents. Note: An example of a base is the number 6.25 in the expression 2.70 × 6.251.5
42.19. The 2.70 is the coefficient and the 1.5 is the exponent. In the decimal numeration system, the base is 10 and in the binary numeration system, the base is 2. The value e 2.718 is the natural base. 2. A reference value. 3. A number that is multiplied by itself as many times as indicated by an exponent.
