Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Strong acids and strong bases are completely ionized in water, whereas weak acids and weak bases are partially ionized in water. The relative strength of acids and bases depends upon how fast ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions and ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions/or proton capture species are produced from acids and base respectively. The relative strength of acids and bases is directly dependent on bond strength.
