List of Strong Bases and Weak Bases
What is the list of strong bases and weak bases that I have to memorize??

Re: List of Strong Bases and Weak Bases
I think this is the full list:
Strong acids:
HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3,H2SO4, HClO4
Strong bases:
NaOH, CaO, KOH, Na2O, Ba(OH)2
If you know the strong acids and bases, the weak ones should be easy to figure out :)

Re: List of Strong Bases and Weak Bases
To add on to what Alice said, HClO3 can also be considered a strong acid, but not in every situation. For the strong bases, it's pretty much a "b" shape on the left side of the period table (LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH, CaOH, SrOH, BaOH)

Why does Mg(OH)2 not fall into the strong base category? Does it have something to do with the coulombic attraction?

Mg(OH)2 is not a strong base due to its limited solubility; given that this would decrease the amount of OH- ions dissociated in the solution, the molecule is therefore classified as a weak base.
Hope this helps!

It does, thank you Andre!

Re: List of Strong Bases and Weak Bases
Definitely memorize the list that Dr.Lavelle gave during the lectures it will assist you. Also probably try to see how OH molecules are formed as that will reveal as well which one is stronger and weaker.
