What is the difference between a strong vs. weak base?

0

A strong base has a higher attraction for protons (hydrogen ions) than a weak base. For example, a hydroxide ion (strong base) would be much more likely to attract an additional proton to form water, than a fluoride ion would to form hydrofluoric acid. Also in terms of conjugate acid-base pairs, the conjugate acid of a strong base will be a weak acid, and the conjugate acid of a weak base will be a strong acid. Hope this helps.
