In the past -OH was considered a radical; now the recommended name is functional group.
The monovalent radical that consists of two atoms is the hydride ion (H-). It has a single negative charge and is composed of two hydrogen atoms.
Bases, anything with the OH- ion in the formula.
All acids contain a hydrogen ion, H+. All bases contain a hydroxide ion, OH-
Elemental Oxygen combined with one Hydrogen - OH-
Radical
OH- is the ion hydroxide and OH. is the radical hydroxyl.
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.
The monovalent radical that consists of two atoms is the hydride ion (H-). It has a single negative charge and is composed of two hydrogen atoms.
All inorganic salts are composed of a metal ion (or an ammonium ion) and an acid radical ion. Table salt for example is composed of a sodium ion and a chlorine ion (the radical ion of hydrochloric acid).Organic salts (called esters) may or may not contain a metal ion. Organic salts that do not contain a metal ion, its role is taken by an alkaloid radical ion.
Bases, anything with the OH- ion in the formula.
In chemistry a radical is a species with an unpaired electron. By species this means an ion.
The symbol for hydroxide ion is OH-.
OH
A base solution releases OH- and the positive radical of the base.
All acids contain a hydrogen ion, H+. All bases contain a hydroxide ion, OH-
The chemical formula for the hydroxide ion is OH-.
Yes, sulphate ion and sulphate radical are the same thing. The formula for the sulphate ion is (SO4)2-, and it is a polyatomic anion consisting of one sulfur atom and four oxygen atoms.
