OH- is a base radical because it can accept a proton (H+) to form water (H2O). Acids, on the other hand, donate protons in a chemical reaction.
If there is any acid radical present, it is one with the formula O2-2. However, hydrogen peroxide is not usually considered an acid except by the broadest definition(s) of acid behavior.
OH is the radical. It has an unpaired electron, making it highly reactive and capable of participating in various chemical reactions.
The resulting compound is called a salt. It is formed through the reaction between a metal atom or positive radical with an acid, where the metal or positive radical replaces the hydrogen in the acid molecule. This reaction results in the formation of an ionic compound with a positive metal or radical ion and a negative ion derived from the acid.
A compound that contains the hydroxyl OH radical is called an alcohol. Alcohols are organic compounds that have a hydroxyl functional group attached to a carbon atom. Examples include ethanol (found in alcoholic beverages) and methanol (used as a solvent).
ZnCl2 is considered a salt because it is composed of a metal cation (Zn2+) and a non-metal anion (Cl-). It is formed through the reaction between zinc, a metal, and chlorine, a non-metal, resulting in an ionic compound.
free-radical halogenation of acetic acid
If there is any acid radical present, it is one with the formula O2-2. However, hydrogen peroxide is not usually considered an acid except by the broadest definition(s) of acid behavior.
OH
OH- is the ion hydroxide and OH. is the radical hydroxyl.
Examples: hydroxyl radical (OH.) and the superoxide anion O2(-).
Radical vinegar is the same thing as what is commonly called today glacial acetic acid. It is very concentrated acetic acid.
OH is the radical. It has an unpaired electron, making it highly reactive and capable of participating in various chemical reactions.
A xanthid is a compound composed of xanthogen, a radical supposedly characteristic of xanthic acid.
Radical
An acetoacetyl is a radical derived from acetoacetic acid.
The resulting compound is called a salt. It is formed through the reaction between a metal atom or positive radical with an acid, where the metal or positive radical replaces the hydrogen in the acid molecule. This reaction results in the formation of an ionic compound with a positive metal or radical ion and a negative ion derived from the acid.
In the past -OH was considered a radical; now the recommended name is functional group.
