Answer:
The higher the dissociation constant the stronger the acid or base. Since electrolytes are created as ions are freed into solution there is a relationship between the strength of an acid, a base, and the electrolyte it produces. Acids and bases are measured using the pH scale.

- The less electronegative an atom (the later it appears in the periodic table), the more basic it likely is.
- If electron density can be delocalized by resonance, the molecule is a weaker base as it is less interested in losing electrons and accepting a proton. Resonance weakens a base because it makes a molecule more stable.
- An electronegative atom might reduce basicity due to inductive effects. This is because such an atom stabilizes electron density, reducing the need for sharing it with a proton.
