  2. Base (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(chemistry)

    A strong base is a basic chemical compound that can remove a proton (H +) from (or deprotonate) a molecule of even a very weak acid (such as water) in an acid–base reaction. Common examples of strong bases include hydroxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, like NaOH and Ca (OH) 2, respectively.

    Throws or feints a throw from the rubber to an unoccupied base, unless a play is imminent. Steps or feints from the rubber to first or third base without completing the throw. Delivers a quick return, a pitch thrown right after receiving the ball back, with intent to catch the batter off-guard.

The SI system after 1983, but before the 2019 redefinition: Base unit definitions in terms of other base units (for example, the metre is defined as the distance travelled by light in a specific fraction of a second), with the constants ...

  5. Weak base - Wikipedia

    Strong. Superbases. Non-nucleophilic. Weak. v. t. e. A weak base is a base that, upon dissolution in water, does not dissociate completely, so that the resulting aqueous solution contains only a small proportion of hydroxide ions and the concerned basic radical, and a large proportion of undissociated molecules of the base.

  6. SI base unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit

    Contents. SI base unit. The SI base units are the standard units of measurement defined by the International System of Units (SI) for the seven base quantities of what is now known as the International System of Quantities: they are notably a basic set from which all other SI units can be derived. The units and their physical quantities are the ...

  7. Order of magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

    An order of magnitude is an approximation of the logarithm of a value relative to some contextually understood reference value, usually 10, interpreted as the base of the logarithm and the representative of values of magnitude one. Logarithmic distributions are common in nature and considering the order of magnitude of values sampled from such ...

  8. On-base percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-base_percentage

    The OBP of all batters faced by one pitcher or team is referred to as "on-base against". On-base percentage is calculable for professional teams dating back to the first year of National Association of Professional Base Ball Players competition in 1871, [2] because the component values of its formula have been recorded in box scores ever since.

  9. Base and superstructure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_and_superstructure

    the base is the whole of productive relationships, not only a given economic element, e.g. the working class. historically, the superstructure varies and develops unevenly in society's different activities; for example, art, politics, economics, etc. the base–superstructure relationship is reciprocal; Engels explains that the base determines ...
