Properties of Base.

  • Bases are proton acceptor in aqueous solution.
  • Bases may be charged particle or may be without charge.
  • Strong bases are those which have greater tendency to accept proton. They bind rapidly and strongly with strongly with proton, so quickly remove from solution.
  • Weak bases are those which have very low tendency to accept proton. They bind slowly and weakly with proton, so slowly remove proton from solution.
  • Conjugate acid of a base is the acid formed by that base after accepting proton. So conjugate acid of a strong base is weak and that of a weak base is strong.
