Question

Consider the following information about four different base solutions:

a) Which base is a weak base? What evidence from the table supports your answer?

I understand that a base is weak if it doesn't ionize completley but I do not know how to tell if a base is weak or strong. If you could explain given the name, concentration, and pH how to tell if an base is weak or strong.
