2. 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 ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_acids_and_bases

   For example, bases donating a lone pair from an oxygen atom are harder than bases donating through a nitrogen atom. Although the classification was never quantified it proved to be very useful in predicting the strength of adduct formation, using the key concepts that hard acid—hard base and soft acid—soft base interactions are stronger ...

   a strong base used in organic synthesis Sodium hydroxide: strong base with many industrial uses; in the laboratory, used with acids to produce the corresponding salt, also used as an electrolyte: Sodium hypochlorite: frequently used as a disinfectant or a bleaching agent Sodium nitrite: used to convert amines into diazo compounds Sulfuric acid

   Bases are defined by the Brønsted–Lowry theory as chemical substances that can accept a proton, i.e., a hydrogen ion. In water this is equivalent to a hydronium ion). The Lewis theory instead defines a Base as an electron-pair donor. The Lewis definition is broader — all Brønsted–Lowry bases are also Lewis bases.

   Some non-aqueous solvents can behave as acids. An acidic solvent will make dissolved substances more basic. For example, the compound CH 3 COOH is known as acetic acid since it behaves as an acid in water. However, it behaves as a base in liquid hydrogen fluoride, a much more acidic solvent. [13]

7. Organic base - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_base

   An organic base is an organic compound which acts as a base. Organic bases are usually, but not always, proton acceptors. They usually contain nitrogen atoms, which can easily be protonated. For example, amines or nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds have a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom and can thus act as proton acceptors. [1]

8. Weak base - Wikipedia

   The further to the left it is, the weaker the base. [5] When there is a hydrogen ion gradient between two sides of the biological membrane, the concentration of some weak bases are focused on only one side of the membrane. [6] Weak bases tend to build up in acidic fluids. [6] Acid gastric contains a higher concentration of weak base than plasma ...

9. Conjugate (acid-base theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_(acid-base_theory)

   On the other hand, if a chemical is a weak acid its conjugate base will not necessarily be strong. Consider that ethanoate, the conjugate base of ethanoic acid, has a base splitting constant (Kb) of about 5.6 × 10 −10, making it a weak base. In order for a species to have a strong conjugate base it has to be a very weak acid, like water.
