Describe the classification of bases based on their acidity.

Answer 1

1. Monoacidic Base:
   It is a base that ionizes in water to give one hydroxide ion per molecule.
   Example: NaOH, KOH
2. Diacidic Base:
   It is a base that ionizes in water to give two hydroxide ions per molecule.
   Example: Ca(OH)₂, Mg(OH)₂
3. Triacidic Base:
   It is a base that ionizes in water to give three hydroxide ions per molecule.
   Example: Al(OH)₃, Fe(OH)₃
