What does it mean if an acid or base is ''weak''?

it means that the acid or the base doesn't completely dissociate when placed in water. Let's take a weak acid. HNO2. When placed in water, not all of the HNO2 molecules will break apart. The ions in the solution will be H+, NO2-, and HNO2. Because there are less ions in the solution, the acid/base is weak. Not all of the HNO2 will break apart! A strong acid will completely dissociate. That means if you place HCl in water, the ions will be H+, and Cl-, NO HCl. This is because once they break apart, the chlorine will stay apart from the hydrogen. This leaves many ions in the solution, making the acid/base strong.
