A '''strong base''' is a [[base]] which strongly attract [[proton]]s (H<sup+</sup>) in solution. Some example strong bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and lithium hydroxide (LiOH).
The [[conjugate acid]] for a strong acid is a [[weak acid]]. In many cases the conjugate base simply acts as a [[spectator ion]] in a reaction.
