    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.

    The SI system after the 2019 definition: Base units as defined in terms of physical constants and other base units. Here, means is used in the definition of . 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 ...

  4. Weak base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_base

    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.

  5. Dissociation constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociation_constant

    Dissociation constant. In chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology, a dissociation constant ( KD) is a specific type of equilibrium constant that measures the propensity of a larger object to separate (dissociate) reversibly into smaller components, as when a complex falls apart into its component molecules, or when a salt splits up into its ...

    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.

  7. Superbase - Wikipedia

    The Schlosser base (or Lochmann-Schlosser base), the combination of n-butyllithium and potassium tert-butoxide, is commonly cited as a superbase. n-Butyllithium and potassium tert-butoxide form a mixed aggregate of greater reactivity than either component reagent. Inorganic

    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 ...

  9. Schiff base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schiff_base

    In organic chemistry, a Schiff base (named after Hugo Schiff) is a compound with the general structure R1R2C=NR3 ( R3 = alkyl or aryl, but not hydrogen ). [1] [2] They can be considered a sub-class of imines, being either secondary ketimines or secondary aldimines depending on their structure. Anil refers to a common subset of Schiff bases ...
