Characteristics for strong acids regarding PH, electrical conductivity, and rates of reactions.

Strong acids have a low pH(farther below 7), high electrical conductivity, and react rapidly with bases.

Characteristics for weak acids regarding PH, electrical conductivity, and rates of reactions.

Weak acids have a higher pH than strong acids(closer to 7), lower electrical conductivity, and react more slowly with bases.

Characteristics for strong bases regarding PH, electrical conductivity, and rates of reactions.

Strong bases have a high pH (way higher than 7), high electrical conductivity, and react rapidly with acids.

Characteristics for weak bases regarding PH, electrical conductivity, and rates of reactions.

Weak acids have a pH closer to 7, lower electrical conductivity compared to strong acids, and they react more slowly with bases.
