Strong acids dissociate (ionize if you will) completely whereas weak acids only dissociate a fraction of the total amount of acid. The name "strong" is misleading because in essence it is because of weaker intermolecular forces that the acid is able to dissociate completely. So when calculating equilibrium concentrations or doing titration problems, you can always assume that a strong acid fully ionizes to H+ and whatever corresponding anion.

The difference in the acidity of acids depends on the amount of H+ ions they produced in an aqeuous solution. The larger the amount of H+ ions produced, the greater the acidity (ie. the lower the pH of the acid). Thus, for strong acids, they produce a larger amount of H+ ions as compared to weaker ones.

Strong acids give out lots of H+ ions when they react with water, and have a low pH. Weak acids don't give out so many H+ ions, and have a higher pH.

solid acids and susceptible acids are diffrent in purely one admire it is the solid acid has greater sort of hydronium ions in it and for this reason dissassociate in water easily yet susceptible acids are purely the different
