As we know that a compound which reacts with hydronium ions[H+(aq)] of an acid to form salt and water as the only product is called a base. OR
A base is a compound which accepts protons[H+(aq)] to form salt and water as the only product.
we should also know that a base which is soluble in water is called alkali.
On the basis of degree of dissociation,the base which almost completely dissociates in an aqueous solution to produce high concentration of hydroxyl ion[OH-] are called stong base.Since Na almost dissociates and produces high concentration of OH- ion ,therefore it is a strong base.

NaOH is a strong bASE?
it is extremely strong base, also known as Lye :]
Is ammonium ion a strong base?
Yes ammonium is a strong base
Is Na OH strong or weak base?
Its a strong base
Is NaOH polyatomic ion?
Yes, NaOH, (also called sodium hydroxide or lye), is an alkaline. It is in fact a very strong alkaline, strong enough to cause chemical burns.
Is chloride base or acid?
The chloride ion is the conjugate base of a strong acid.
Why the carbonate ion is a strong base?
It is the conjugate base of a weak acid (carbonic acid).
Is hydroxide a acid?
No, the hydroxide ion is a very strong base. but can be just as dangerous as a strong acid.
Why is sodium hypochlorite basic?
Na+ ion has no ability to hydrolyze water, but ClO- ion can. That is, Na+ + H2O -> N.R. ClO- + H2O <=> HClO + OH- (this reaction is increasing alkalinity of solution) To put it another way: The first reaction, were it to occur to some appreciable extent, would be producing NaOH, a known strong base. We call it a strong base because it completely dissociates in solution. So, the equilibrium of that reaction, Na+ + H2O <=> NaOH + H+ is extremely, extremely reactant-favored, so much so that we say that Na+ has no capacity to bond with OH- while in solution.
Is NO3 a base or acid?
NO3- is a pH neutral ion as it s the conjugate base of a strong acid.
Is NO3- a weak base?
Being the conjugate base of nitric acid (a strong acid), the nitrate ion is a weak base.
What is happening in terms of ion when sodium hydroxide neutralizes hydrochloric acid?
This reaction is a strong base reacting with a strong acid to give a salt (NaCl) plus water. The positive Na ion combines with the negative Cl ion to form the sodium chloride. The hydroxyl group of sodium hydroxide combines with the hydrogen of HCl (hydrochloric acid) to form water. The charge on Na (+1) neutralizes the charge on Cl (-1) and the same things happens with H+ and OH-.
What do you get when NaNH2 is dissolved in an alcohol?
an alcohol reacts with a strong base to from an alkoxide ion
