What are some examples of strong bases?

1 Answer

Strong bases include NaOH, LiOH, KOH, RbOH, #Ca(OH)_2#, #Ba(OH)_2#, and #Sr(OH)_2#.

Notice a pattern? Strong bases include the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. Strong bases are those which dissociate fully when dissolved in water.

Please note that #Mg(OH)_2# is an exception to this and is classified as a weak base.
