On the basis of strength, bases can be classified as following:

(i) Strong alkalis or bases: The alkalis or bases which undergo complete ionisation in aqueous solution are known as strong alkalis or bases.

(ii) Weak alkalis or bases:

The alkalis or bases which undergo only partial ionisation in aqueous solution are known as weak alkalis or bases.
