Weak acids and bases are the molecules that do not readily give off or accept protons, for example CH3CH3 or NH3 are weak acids, and I- and HSO4 are weak bases.

Some examples of a weak base are ammonia (NH3) and methylamine (CH3NH2) and examples are a weak acid are carbonic acid (H2CO3) and vinegar (C2H4O2).

Weak Acids:
Acetic acid (CH3COOH), carbonic acid (H2CO3), hydrofluoric acid (HF), hydrocyanic acid (HCN), phosphoric acid (H3PO4)
Weak Bases:
Ammonia (NH3), methylamine (CH3NH2), diethylamine ((CH3CH2)2NH)

Benzoic acid is also a weak acid and you can remember this because the COOH in benzoic acid is often found in biological molecules and organic acids tend to be weaker.

Weak acids means that the there is not a full dissociation of H+ in water.

Organic acids and bases are usually weak.
