The hydroxyl group, OH, is formed when an oxygen atom forms a single covalent bond with a hydrogen atom. This results in a molecule with a polar covalent bond where the oxygen atom has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge. This arrangement gives the hydroxyl group its characteristic properties and reactivity.
What else can I help you with?
When bases dissolve in water they release what type of negative ion?
The negative ion is the hydroxyl group (OH)-.
What is -OH group?
The -OH group is called the hydroxyl group
When an OH joins a hydrocarbon an alcohol is formed?
Yes an aliphatic hydrocarbon chain with an OH group on is called an alcohol - if it is an aromatic hydrocarbon it can often be called a phenol
Is -OH an ion or a radical?
In the past -OH was considered a radical; now the recommended name is functional group.
What is OH group known as?
The OH is known as a hydroxyl group, it is also known as the hydroxide ion if it carries a negative charge, and on a hydrocarbon chain or similar would be known as an alcohol group.
When bases dissolve in water they release what type of negative ion?
The negative ion is the hydroxyl group (OH)-.
Why hydroxyl ion is a proton?
The hydroxyl ion is OH and isn't a proton.
What is OH in chemistry?
OH- (note the negative charge) is the hydroxide ion. This ion consists of a deprotonated water molecule; it acts as a base. OH (typically denoted ROH) can also denote a hydroxyl group, which is a common functional group in organic chemistry. For example MeOH is methanol, CH3OH.
What is -OH group?
The -OH group is called the hydroxyl group
Are hydroxyl and hydroxide same?
No, hydroxyl and hydroxide are not the same. A hydroxyl group (-OH) is a functional group consisting of an oxygen and a hydrogen atom bonded together. Hydroxide (OH-) is an anion formed when a hydroxyl group gains an extra electron, giving it a negative charge and making it a powerful base.
What does OH mean in science?
There is no such chemical symbol. 'OH' does not exist as a substance. However, the symbol 'OH^-' does exist, it is the symbol for the hydroxide anion(ion). Further when 'OH^-' is shown in a substance , e.g. NaOH , the 'OH^- ,moiety still exists but is cancelled out by the 'Na^+' Two equal and opposite charges.
When an OH joins a hydrocarbon an alcohol is formed?
Yes an aliphatic hydrocarbon chain with an OH group on is called an alcohol - if it is an aromatic hydrocarbon it can often be called a phenol
What ion is always produced in an base solution?
This ion is the hydroxyl -OH.
What chemical formula represents the hydroxide ion?
The chemical formula for the hydroxide ion is OH-.
Is -OH an ion or a radical?
In the past -OH was considered a radical; now the recommended name is functional group.
What is odd OH hydroxide?
OH- is the ion hydroxide and OH. is the radical hydroxyl.
What group is an -OH group?
hydroxyl
