What is the charge of hydroxide?

Answer 1

'-1'

It is usually written as 'OH^(-)'.

Water (H2O) is in a dynamic equilibrium ; one

of the H-O covalent bonds in water breaks to form

H2O < == > H^(+) + OH^(-)

It produces hydrogen cations (H^(+)) and hydroxide anions (OH^(-)).

Answer 2

As written "O" has no charge. It has spaces for 2 valence electrons. When these participate in ionic bonding you get O2- ie doubly ionized.

Answer 3

The net charge of H2O is 0.

The net charge of OH is -1.

The net charge of H is +1.

So, OH (-1) + H (+1) --> H2O (0)

Answer 4

The charge of a hydroxide ion (OH-) is -1, as the oxygen atom carries a charge of -2 and the hydrogen atom carries a charge of +1.

Answer 5

The charge of OH is -1.

Answer 6

negative

Answer 7

OH-
