Key Stage 4

Meaning

A Hydroxide ion (OH-), is a negative ion of Hydrogen bonded to Oxygen found in acid solutions.

About Hydroxide Ions

When a basic compound dissolves in water it forms Hydroxide ions.
Hydroxides in solution are alkalis.
Hydroxide ions are responsible for the corrosive properties of alkalis.
Hydroxide has gained an electrons to have a relative charge of -1.
Hydroxide forms ionic bonds with positive ions.
Hydroxides are ionic compounds.

Examples

Metal Hydroxides form Hydroxide ions in water.

NaOH(aq) → Na+(aq)+OH-(aq)
KOH(aq) → K+(aq)+OH-(aq)
Mg(OH)2(aq) → Mg+2(aq)+2OH-(aq)
Ca(OH)2(aq) → Ca+2(aq)+2OH-(aq)
Al(OH)3(aq) → Al+3(aq)+3OH-(aq)

Metal Oxides react with water to produce Metal Hydroxides which also form Hydroxide ions.

Na2O(s) + H2O(l) → 2Na+(aq)+2OH-(aq)
K2O(s) + H2O(l) → 2K+(aq)+2OH-(aq)
MgO(s) + 2H2O(l) → Mg+2(aq)+2OH-(aq)
CaO(s) + 2H2O(l) → Ca+2(aq)+2OH-(aq)
Al2O3(s) + 3H2O(l) → 2Al+3(aq)+6OH-(aq)

Ammonia also reacts with water to produce Hydroxide ions:

NH3O(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ NH4+(aq)+OH-(aq)
