Question

State whether the following statements are true or false. Rewrite the false statements correctly.

Strong base ionises partly in water to produce few hydroxyl ions.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• Bases - Bases are substances that produce hydroxyl ions when dissolved in water.
• They are of two types -

1. Strong bases
2. Weak bases

• Strong bases - These are the bases that quickly and completely ionize in water and produce a large number of hydroxyl ions.
• For example - Sodium hydroxide $\left(\mathrm{NaOH}\right)$.
• Weak bases - These are the bases that partly ionize in water and produce few hydroxyl ions.
• For example - Ammonia $\left({\mathrm{NH}}_3\right)$.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
