...do not quote me but...
It is in reference to the ionization.
The "stronger" an acid/basic is, the more it ionizes.
The weaker, the less it ionizes. its degree of ionization

Why is a concentrated acid not strong?
strong acids and bases dissociate completely; weak acids and bases dissociate only partially. In contrast, the term dilute and concentrated are used to indicate the consentration of a solution, which is the amount of acid or base dissolved in the solution. It is possible to have dilute solutions of strong acids and bases and concentrated solutions of weak acids and bases.
What is the lowest pH to the highest pH?
Lowest pH, strong acids, then weak acids, then salts of strong acids and strong bases, then salts of weak acids and strong bases, then weak bases, then strong bases. All very confusing!
What correctly describes the corrosive nature of strong acids and strong bases?
Strong acids and strong bases are both usually corrosive.
What is a Chemical compounds that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases?
buffers
Are strong acids and bases bitter?
no

What happens to strong acids and bases in aqueous solutions?
After this reaction a salt is formed.

How are strong acids converted to weaker ones?
Buffer systems. They convert strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases.
What correctly describes the corrosive nature of strong acids and strong bases?
Strong acids and strong bases are both usually corrosive.
What are weak acids or weak bases that can react with strong acids or bases to keep the pH?
Solutions containing these mixtures are called buffers.
Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?
No. Many strong electrolytes are bases or neutral salts.
Why are acids and bases considered strong?
They either have a high concentration of H+ ions (acids) or OH- ions (bases). Strong acids and bases are also highly corrosive relative to weaker more neutral acids/bases.
What is a Chemical compounds that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases?
buffers
What is a neutral chemical solution?
the solutions of carbohydrates and salts formed by strong acids and bases are always neutral having pH value = 7
Are strong acids and bases bitter?
no
Acids Bases Salts?
In water solutions salts may be acidic, basic or amphoteric.
