What are the weak acids and bases?

• all acids and bases are weak

• if not classified as strong, the acid/base is considered weak

• all acids and bases are strong

• there are more strong acids and bases than there are weak acids/bases

Which of the following acids will conduct electricity the best?

• Ethanoic acid

• Nitric acid

• Carbonic acid

• Citric acid

Strong acids and bases...

• do not break apart into ions (non-electrolyte)

• partially break apart into ions (weak electrolyte)

• completely break apart into ions (non-electrolyte)

• completely break apart into ions (strong electrolyte)
