NO! These two chemicals could hardly be more different: Sodium hydroxide is an ionically bonded inorganic salt that contains no carbon, while alkenes are organic compounds that are covalently bonded, contain no sodium or oxygen, and include a carbon-carbon double bond.
The chemical name is Sodium Hydroxide. It is made of Na+ ions and OH- ions.
The symbol for Sodium Hydroxide is NaoH
Sodium hydroxide.
sodium hydroxide is itself a chemical. It can disassociate into a sodium cation and a hydroxide anion
No, sodium hydroxide is a compound.
Sodium hydroxide.
Sodium hydroxide is a base.
When a metal reacts with sodium hydroxide, it produces hydrogen gas and a metal hydroxide. For example, when aluminum reacts with sodium hydroxide, it forms sodium aluminate and hydrogen gas.
Sodium hydroxide is prepared from sodium chloride by the electrolysis of the solution.
A hydrocarbon such as an alkane, alkene, or alkyne will NOT react with a hydroxide ion. Simply put, the base is not strong enough to deprotonate these molecules. The resulting anion would Not form,,,,,since a stronger base would be generated. For example, if methane was deprotonated,,,,,we would get the methide anion......This is MUCH MUCH stronger than the OH- ion........a reaction is not favorable when a stronger base is generated. The same logic applies to generation of a base from the alkene or alkyne.
Sodium hydroxide is a stronger base than potassium hydroxide. This is because sodium hydroxide has a higher dissociation constant and a higher solubility than potassium hydroxide, making it more effective at accepting protons.
Sodium hydroxide is a compound composed of sodium, a metal, and hydroxide, a polyatomic ion. Therefore, sodium hydroxide is not a metal or a nonmetal but rather an ionic compound.
