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 ...

3. Lewis acids and bases - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_acids_and_bases

   As usual, a weaker acid has a stronger conjugate base. Examples of Lewis bases based on the general definition of electron pair donor include: simple anions, such as H − and F −; other lone-pair-containing species, such as H 2 O, NH 3, HO −, and CH 3 −; complex anions, such as sulfate; electron-rich π-system Lewis bases, such as ethyne ...

4. Alkali - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali

   In chemistry, an alkali (/ ˈ æ l k ə l aɪ /; from the Arabic word al-qāly, القلوي) is a basic, ionic salt of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal. An alkali can also be defined as a base that dissolves in water. A solution of a soluble base has a pH greater than 7.0.

5. Category:Bases (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Bases_(chemistry)

   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.

6. 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]

7. Acid–base reaction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_reaction

   In chemistry, an acid–base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base.It can be used to determine pH via titration.Several theoretical frameworks provide alternative conceptions of the reaction mechanisms and their application in solving related problems; these are called the acid–base theories, for example, Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory.

8. Weak base - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_base

   An example of a weak base is ammonia. It does not contain hydroxide ions, but it reacts with water to produce ammonium ions and hydroxide ions. [4] The position of equilibrium varies from base to base when a weak base reacts with water. The further to the left it is, the weaker the base. [5]

9. Base-richness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base-richness

   In ecology, base-richness is the level of chemical bases in water or soil, such as calcium or magnesium ions. Many organisms prefer base-rich environments. [1] Chemical bases are alkalis, hence base-rich environments are either neutral or alkaline. Because acid-rich environments have few bases, they are dominated by environmental acids (usually ...
