WHAT ARE STRONG AND WEAK BASES? PLEASE HELP MERITNATION EXPERTS I NEED IT IMMIDIATELY
Bases feel slippery and taste soapy. A strong base is a base that breaks apart 100% in solution. For example, if solid sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is placed in water, the solids will completely break apart into equal amounts of sodium ions (Na+) and hydroxide ions (OH).
A weak base is a chemical base that does not ionize fully in an aqueous solution. As Brønsted–Lowry bases are proton acceptors, a weak base may also be defined as a chemical base in which protonation is incomplete. This results in a relatively low pH compared to strong bases.
