Best Answer

Two hydroxide ions would best be written as 2 OH-1 in an ionic equation, rather than either of the alternatives given in the question. If the two hydroxide ions occur together with a divalent cation such as magnesium in a compound, then the hydroxide ions would be written as (OH)2. Two ions should never be written as OH2, because that is the formula for water, with the ions in an unconventional order, rather than the formula of ions at all.
