Strong bases usually contain positively charged atoms of high electronegativity and no resonance stabilization.
Strong Bases
Substances that readily donate hydroxide ions or accept protons during a chemical reaction, characterized by their complete dissociation in water.
Electronegativity
An indicator of how strongly an atom pulls towards itself a pair of electrons that are being shared in a bond.
Resonance Stabilization
The stabilization of molecular structures by delocalizing electrons within conjugated systems or between atoms that can host multiple structures.
