This is the chemical structure of calcium hydroxide. Todd Helmenstine

Calcium hydroxide: Ca(OH)2

Calcium hydroxide is considered a strong to medium strength base. It will completely dissociate in solutions of less than 0.01 M, but weakens as concentration increases.

Calcium hydroxide is also known as calcium dihydroxide, calcium hydrate, hydralime, hydrated lime, caustic lime, slaked lime, lime hydrate, lime water and milk of lime. The chemical is white or colorless and may be crystalline.

Lithium hydroxide: LiOH

Lithium hydroxide is a strong base. It is also known as lithium hydrate and lithium hydroxid. It is a white crystalline solid that readily reacts with water and is slightly soluble in ethanol. Lithium hydroxide is the weakest base of the alkali metal hydroxides. Its primary use is for the synthesis of lubricating grease.

Methylamine: CH5N

Methylamine is a weak Lewis base. It is also known as methanamine, MeNH2, methyl ammonia, methyl amine, and aminomethane. Methylamine is most commonly encountered in pure form as a colorless gas, although it's also found as a liquid in solution with ethanol, methanol, water, or tetrahydrofuran (THF). Methylamine is the simplest primary amine.

Pyridine

pyridine

This is the chemical structure of pyridine. Todd Helmenstine

Pyridine: C5H5N

Pyridine is a weak Lewis base. It is also known as azabenzene. Pyridine is a highly flammable, colorless liquid. It's soluble in water and has a distinctive fishy smell that most people find repugnant and possibly nauseating. One interesting pyridine fact is that the chemical is commonly added as a denaturant to ethanol to make it unsuitable for drinking.
