Think of three ways you could safely distinguish between a strong acid and a strong base.

--Acid is the substance when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of H+ ions.

--Such compound whose chemical formula begins with H, for example HCl (Hydrochloric acid), H3BO3 (Boric acid), CH2O3 (Carbonic

acid). Although CH3COOH (Acetic acid) is an exception.

--Its less than 7.

--Bases are the proton acceptor.

--Such compounds whose chemical formula ends with OH, for example KOH (Potassium hydroxide), NaOH (Sodium hydroxide).

--Its greater than 7.

Explanation:

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.
