The property of strong and weak, as far as chemistry of atoms is concerned, it pertains to the strong and weak bonds that exist between two or more atoms. A strong bond would indicate that a higher dissociation energy is needed to split the two; eg ionic bond. Whereas, a weak bond is one which can be easily broken; eg Hydrogen bond. Also, the properties of strong and weak are given to acids and bases in the same context. Acids which easily dissociate into ions are weak and which do not are designated as strong. Same holds true with bases. Examples; weak acid is carbonic acid, acetic acid. strong acid is sulphuric acid. Weak base is ammonia, methylamine. Strong base is sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide.
