Exception to strong bases
I know strong bases are made of alkali metals and hydroxides... are there any exceptions to this guideline in regards to strong bases?

Re: Exception to strong bases
Hello! A solution guide in the Achieve homework links to a list of strong acids/bases: https://sites.google.com/site/chempendi ... cids-bases. As expected, all of the alkali metals are included (except Francium, I'm guessing that one's too unstable). But there's also a few alkali earth metals included, which form the following strong bases: Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ba(OH)2. Let me know if you have more questions!
Re: Exception to strong bases
I believe there are only the 8 strong bases LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2 which are all alkali metals with OH

Re: Exception to strong bases
I don't believe that there are any exceptions to this rule. Alkali earth metals can also act as strong bases though.
