6. A strong base or acid breaks completely in to two separate ions.
Dissociation?
A strong base or acid breaks completely in to two separate ions.
A weak acid or base only partially breaks up in water, leaving some of the acid or base molecules together.

7. Strong and Weak Acids and Bases
Strong acids HCl, HNO3 , H2SO4 Most other acids are weak. Strong bases NaOH, KOH, and Ca(OH)2 Most other bases are weak.
