Classifying Other
When classifying strong & weak acids, and strong & weak bases, I was curious when do we classify a compound as Other? Just like in the Sapling HW for example.

Re: Classifying Other
I think that process of elimination is best to use here. First check if the molecule can accept or donate a proton (for the Bronsted definition). If it does not look like it can donate or accept a proton, then it would be safe to assume that it is neither.

Re: Classifying Other
I believe it is easier to just memorize the list of strong acids and bases then use the process of elimination.
