Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Properties of a base are to be explained.
Concept introduction:
A base is an ionic compound that produces hydroxyl ions
They are generally classified into three different types depending upon their acidity.
Monoacidic base is a base that ionizes completely and produces one hydroxyl ion
Diacidic base is a base that ionizes completely and produces two hydroxyl ions
Triacidic base is a base that ionizes completely and gives three hydroxyl ions
