Are molecules like Ca(OH)2, Ba(OH)2 etc considered polyprotic bases?
I know that the definition of polyprotic acid/base is something that can donate/accept multiple H+. But I am seeing mixed information (google) about Ba(OH)2 being polyprotic or not. One source mentioned that it is not polyprotic becasue it gives off 2OH- at the same time but other sources mention that it is a polyprotic base (diprotic).
