Strong Acids and Bases

[Darius_Beckley_3C]

I understand that a longer bond makes a stronger acid, but does that same rule apply for bases?

[Damian Valle Garcia 3I]

Hey its is not the case for bases. Base strength is determined by electronegativity, resonance, and atomic size, as these factors contribute to the ability of a molecule to accept a proton.

In the context of acids, a longer and weaker bond typically results in a stronger acid because it's easier to break, allowing the release of a proton. When it comes to bases, the strength of a base is related to its ability to accept a proton.
