How do strong and weak bases dissociate or ionize?

Strong bases dissociate or ionize completely. Weak bases dissociate or ionize only partially. The degree to which they ionize/dissociate is given by the Kb for each weak base.

No. Bases don't produce H+ ions. They produce OH- ions. Strong bases produce more OH- bases than weak bases. Strong acids produce more H+ ions than weak acids.


Weak acids and weak bases?

Weak acids only partially ionize to give hydrogen ions (H+) weak bases only partially ionize to give hydroxide ions (OH-)
