Answer:

Strong acids are defined by their pKa. The acid must be stronger in aqueous solution than a hydronium ion, so its pKa must be lower than that of a hydronium ion. Therefore, strong acids have a pKa of <-174. Strong acids can be organic or inorganic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bond Strength

Strong acids have mostly ions in solution, therefore the bonds holding H and A together must be weak. Strong acids easily break apart into ions. Weak acids exist mostly as molecules with only a few ions in solution, therefore the bonds holding H and A together must be strong.
