The strongest base that can exist in water is the hydroxide ion.
The strongest base known to exist in the world is lithium hydroxide.
The strongest acid and base both have the ability to fully donate or accept a proton, respectively. A strong acid completely ionizes in water to donate protons, while a strong base fully dissociates to accept protons. Both are highly reactive and can cause significant chemical reactions.
The nitrate ion (NO3-) is a so extremely weak base that it will gain no proton at all from water.(That's why HNO3 is a so strong acid that it 'splits' off ALL its protons. in water there is no molecule HNO3 remaining.)
The strongest base known to chemistry is lithium hydroxide (LiOH).
