Basic Solution

Imagine trying to balance a seesaw with more weight on one side than the other. Just like a seesaw tilting towards the heavier side, a solution with more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions is tipped toward being basic. In this analogy, the weights on the seesaw represent the ions: hydroxide ions are the heavier side causing the seesaw to tilt towards basicity, while hydrogen ions are the lighter side, struggling to balance the system.
