NaOH is a strong base but ClOH is a strong acid because ClOH gives hydrogen ions on dissociation.

Explanation:

It is known that a strong base will dissociate to give hydroxide ions in water whereas a strong acid will dissociate in water to give hydrogen ions. For example, NaOH will dissociate in water as follows.

            NaOH \rightarrow Na^{+} + OH^{-}

Similarly, ClOH when dissolved in water will dissociate as follows.

           ClOH \righarrow ClO^{-} + H^{+}

Since, ClOH completely dissociates to give hydrogen ions on dissociation therefore, it acts as an acid.
