☆☆☆☆☆Direct characterization is when the author directly tells you a characters traits.
A "strong" acid (or base) is one that dissociates completely in dilute aqueous solution. One which does not is a "weak" acid (or base). An acid with a pKa (or a base with a pKb) lower than about -2 is considered to be a "strong" acid.
Weak acids and bases can still be quite corrosive. HF is a "weak" acid with a pKa of around 3.2 (which corresponds to only about one molecule out of every 38 or so being dissociated), but it's pretty terrible stuff and will dissolve even glass.
HCI (Hydrochloric acid)
1/2 is less than one.
