  2. Hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxide

    The hydroxide ion forms salts, some of which dissociate in aqueous solution, liberating solvated hydroxide ions. Sodium hydroxide is a multi-million-ton per annum commodity chemical. The corresponding electrically neutral compound HO • is the hydroxyl radical. The corresponding covalently bound group –OH of atoms is the hydroxy group.

  3. Hydroxy group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxy_group

    Both the negatively charged anion HO −, called hydroxide, and the neutral radical HO·, known as the hydroxyl radical, consist of an unbonded hydroxy group. According to IUPAC definitions, the term hydroxyl refers to the hydroxyl radical (·OH) only, while the functional group −OH is called a hydroxy group. [1]

  4. Polyatomic ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyatomic_ion

    A simple example of a polyatomic ion is the hydroxide ion, which consists of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom, jointly carrying a net charge of −1; its chemical formula is O H −. In contrast, an ammonium ion consists of one nitrogen atom and four hydrogen atoms, with a charge of +1; its chemical formula is N H + 4.

  5. Hydrogen ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_ion

    A hydrogen atom is made up of a nucleus with charge +1, and a single electron. Therefore, the only positively charged ion possible has charge +1. It is noted H +. Depending on the isotope in question, the hydrogen cation has different names: Hydron: general name referring to the positive ion of any hydrogen isotope (H +)

  6. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    A single bond between two atoms corresponds to the sharing of one pair of electrons. The Hydrogen (H) atom has one valence electron. Two Hydrogen atoms can then form a molecule, held together by the shared pair of electrons. Each H atom now has the noble gas electron configuration of helium (He).

  7. Ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion

    To indicate a more severe charge, the number of additional or missing electrons is supplied, as seen in O 2 2-(negative charge, peroxide) and He 2+ (positive charge, alpha particle). [ 4 ] Ions consisting of only a single atom are termed atomic or monatomic ions, while two or more atoms form molecular ions or polyatomic ions .

  8. Ionic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_bonding

    Ions are atoms (or groups of atoms) with an electrostatic charge. Atoms that gain electrons make negatively charged ions (called anions). Atoms that lose electrons make positively charged ions (called cations). This transfer of electrons is known as electrovalence in contrast to covalence.

  9. Charge carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_carrier

    Atoms that have gained electrons so they are negatively charged are called anions, atoms that have lost electrons so they are positively charged are called cations. [7] Cations and anions of the dissociated liquid also serve as charge carriers in melted ionic solids (see e.g. the Hall–Héroult process for an example of electrolysis of a ...
