2. List of chemistry mnemonics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemistry_mnemonics

   A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.

3. List of reagents - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reagents

   a strong base; precursor to most soft and liquid soaps as well as numerous potassium-containing chemicals Potassium permanganate: a strong oxidizing agent; can be used to quantitatively determine the total oxidisable organic material in an aqueous sample; a reagent for the synthesis of organic compounds Pyridinium chlorochromate

4. Superbase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superbase

   Caubère defines superbases as "bases resulting from a mixing of two (or more) bases leading to new basic species possessing inherent new properties. The term superbase does not mean a base is thermodynamically and/or kinetically stronger than another, instead it means that a basic reagent is created by combining the characteristics of several ...

5. Non-nucleophilic base - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-nucleophilic_base

   Lithium tetramethylpiperidide (LiTMP or harpoon base) Other strong non-nucleophilic bases are sodium hydride and potassium hydride. These compounds are dense, salt-like materials that are insoluble and operate by surface reactions. Some reagents are of high basicity (pK a of conjugate acid around 17) but of modest but not negligible ...

6. Base (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(chemistry)

   A strong base is a basic chemical compound that can remove a proton (H +) from (or deprotonate) a molecule of even a very weak acid (such as water) in an acid–base reaction. Common examples of strong bases include hydroxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, like NaOH and Ca(OH) 2, respectively. Due to their low solubility, some ...

7. Leveling effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leveling_effect

   Strong bases are leveling solvents for acids, weak bases are differentiating solvents for acids. In a leveling solvent, many acids are completely dissociated and are thus of the same strength. All acids tend to become indistinguishable in strength when dissolved in strongly basic solvents owing to the greater affinity of strong bases for protons.

8. Organic base - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_base

   Most organic bases are considered to be weak.Many factors can affect the strength of the compounds. One such factor is the inductive effect.A simple explanation of the term would state that electropositive atoms (such as carbon groups) attached in close proximity to the potential proton acceptor have an "electron-releasing" effect, such that the positive charge acquired by the proton acceptor ...

9. Lewis acids and bases - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_acids_and_bases

   A Lewis base is also a Brønsted–Lowry base, but a Lewis acid does not need to be a Brønsted–Lowry acid. The classification into hard and soft acids and bases ( HSAB theory ) followed in 1963. The strength of Lewis acid-base interactions, as measured by the standard enthalpy of formation of an adduct can be predicted by the Drago–Wayland ...
