What makes an acid/base strong
its want to either give a proton or accept one
how is water like a banker when considering acids and bases?
Protons are the currency for the transaction of protons
What makes a strong acid strong?
The fact that it is very aggressive when it comes to donating a proton
What makes a strong base strong?
It wants to aggressively accept protons
Why is water like banker when it comes to
Protons are the currency for Bases and Acids to exchange
