hydroxide

listen to the pronunciation of hydroxide
English - English
An univalent anion (OH-1) based on the hydroxyl functional group
Any substance containing such an anion
{i} compound containing hydroxyl radicals (Chemistry)
An univalent anion (OH[-1]) based on the hydroxyl functional group
A compound that contains an -OH group
a chemical compound containing the hydroxyl group
A compound consisting of an element or radical combined with the radical OH-hypersthene
A compound, usually alkaline, containing the OH (hydroxyl) group
Any compound with one or more functional groups made up of one atom each of hydrogen and oxygen, bonded together and acting as the hydroxide anion (OH^-). Hydroxides include the familiar alkalies of laboratory and industrial processes. Those of the alkali metals (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium), the strongest bases, are the most stable and soluble; those of the alkaline earth metals (calcium, barium, and strontium), also soluble strong bases, are less stable. The hydroxides of most other metals are only slightly soluble but neutralize acids; some are "amphoteric," reacting with both acids and bases. In compounds in which OH is un-ionized and covalently bonded (e.g., in methanol, CH3OH), it is known as a hydroxyl group
A compound formed by the union of a metal or a radical with one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups, as sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
A chemical compound of an element or elements with the hydroxyl (OH) anion (see Hydroxyl)
The hydroxides are regarded as compounds of hydroxyl, united usually with basic element or radical; as, calcium hydroxide ethyl hydroxide
