H + Halogens is acid, HCl, HBr, HI are STRONG, HF is weak.

(CH3)2NH is amine (deriv of ammonia NH3), also C2H5NH2 and (CH3)3N – are weak bases

Metal + OH is strong base (& NaOH, LiOH, Ba(OH)2, Ca(OH)2, etc)

HNO3 is nitric ACID

C2H5OC2H5 (diethyl ether) is base

CHCl3 (chloroform) is neither

H3PO4 is phosphoric ACID
