IONIC: Na+ ion and (OH)- ions are held together by strong ionic bonds.
COVALENT: O2- and H+ ions are held together by colvalent bonds.
therefore sodium hydroxide is contains both covalent and ionic bonds. but generally we say that NaOH is an ionic compound. =)
Sodium hydroxide is an alkali. It is a strong base that dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions, which can accept protons and neutralize acids.
Sodium is neither an acid nor an alkali in water. When sodium is dissolved in water, it forms sodium hydroxide (a strong alkali) and hydrogen gas. Sodium itself is a metal and is not considered acidic or alkaline in its pure form.
base which is soluble in water is called alkali. example the lithium,calcium sodium ,potassium,rubidium ,francium all are alkali metals. they form sodium hydroxide,potassium hydroxide,calcium hydroxide all are strong bases .when they dissolve in water they form strong alkali.
Sodium hydroxide is both an alkali and alkaline. It is classified as an alkali because it dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ions which can react with acidic substances. It is termed alkaline because it has a high pH level and can neutralize acids.
Sodium Hydroxide Solution is a a strong Alkali with a pH reading of 13.
Sodium hydroxide is an alkali. It is a strong base that dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions, which can accept protons and neutralize acids.
An alkali is a base, a hydroxide (containing the group OH-), as sodium hydroxide - NaOH.
An example of an alkali is Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)
It is a strong base
Sodium hydroxide.
Yep, everything with 'hydroxide' can be called an alkali no matter its state of matter. :)

There are sodium hydroxide, strontium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and more.
