The hydroxyl ion is not a positive ion but rather a negative ion. The hydroxyl ion or anion is also known as hydroxide.
The chemical formula for the hydroxide ion is OH-.
A hydroxyl ion (OH-) is a negatively charged molecule consisting of an oxygen atom and a hydrogen atom bonded together. It is a stable species. On the other hand, a hydroxyl free radical (OH•) is a highly reactive molecule with an unpaired electron. It is an unstable species and can participate in chemical reactions to stabilize itself.
An ion may have either a positive charge or a negative charge. So there term "positive ion" simply tells which of the two general types it belongs to.
A hydroxyl ion has the electrical charge -1.
An example is the hydroxyl ion: (OH)-.
Hydroxyl ion exist in solution but it is not a solution.
The hydroxyl ion is OH and isn't a proton.
Hydroxyl ions form when a water molecule loses a hydrogen ion (H+) and gains an electron, resulting in an OH- ion. This process is also known as dissociation or ionization of water. The presence of hydroxyl ions contributes to the basicity of a solution.
This ion is the hydroxyl -OH.
Bases releases hydroxyl ions in a solution.
