A strong acid is one that completely ionises in water to form a large amount of hydrogen ions whereas a weak acid only partially ionises in water and thus produces a small amount of hydrogen ions.
HCl, H2SO4 , HNO are strong acids; CH3COOH, H2CO3 , H2SO3 are weak acids
(a) Organic acids are acids present in plant materials and animals. These are naturally occuring acids.

(a) On moving across a period, nuclear pull increases because of the increase in atomic number, and thus, the atomic size decreases. Hence, elements cannot lose electrons easily. Hence, Group...
An alkali is a basic hydroxide which when dissolved in water produces hydroxyl ions (OH-) as the only negatively charged ions.
(a) Strong alkalis: Sodium hydroxide , Potassium hydroxide
(b) Weak alkalis:...
Strong electrolytes are compounds which dissociate completely in their aqueous or fused state. It allows electricity to flow through them. e.g. all strong acids and alkalis.
Weak electrolytes are chemical compounds...
