    Base
    A Base is a substance whose ions or molecules can accept H⁺ ions. The Bronsted-Lowry definition of a base is that it is a 'proton acceptor'. By strength of a base is meant the tendency with which it will accept H⁺ ions; the stronger the base the more readily it will accept H⁺ ions. The terms 'strength' and 'concentration' with regard to bases must not be confused; a concentrated solution of a weak base is still a weak base. There is another common definition of a base. It is the Lewis definition. A Lewis base is an electron-pair donor.

    Historically, base is a substance that yields an OH - ion when it dissociates in solution, resulting in a pH>7. In the Brønsted definition, a base is a substance capable of accepting a proton in any type of reaction. The more general definition, due to G.N. Lewis, classifies any chemical species capable of donating an electron pair as a base. Typic...
