Rabies is a very serious viral infection that targets the brain and nervous system. You can catch rabies if you are bitten by an infected animal and haven't been vaccinated. It's almost always fatal once symptoms develop, but can be prevented if treatment is given promptly after exposure.
Acids Bases and pH Scale. I. Acids *Acids are ionic compounds (a compound with a positive or negative charge) that break apart in water to form a hydrogen ion (H +). *The strength of an acid is based on the concentration of H + ions in the solution. The more H+ the stronger the acid.
However, there is a specific scientific definition of 'strong' and 'weak' when used to describe acids and bases. In chemistry, a 'strong base' is a base that completely ionizes in water while a 'weak base' is a base that partially ionizes in water.
