Hydroxide is a functional group consisting of oxygen and hydrogen:
-O−H

It has a charge of 1-.

The term hydroxyl group is used when the functional group -OH is counted as a substituent of an organic compound. Organic molecules containing a hydroxyl group are known as alcohols ( CnH2n+1-OH).

Hydroxide is one of the simplest of the polyatomic ions. Hydroxide is a general term for any salt containing stoichiometric amounts of this polyatomic ion.

Hydroxyl ion absorptionHydroxyl ion absorption is the absorption in optical fibers of electromagnetic waves, including the near- infrared, due to the presence of trapped hydroxyl ions remaining from water as a contaminant. The hydroxyl (OH-) ion can penetrate glass during or afHydroxylysineHydroxylysine is an amino acid, CHNO. It is most widely known as a component of collagen. A standard amino acid with the R' group consisting of an amino terminated butyl hydrocarbon chain, with a hydroxyl group on the carbon atom before the amino group.HydroxylamineThe compound hydroxylamine is a nitrogen-containing base whose chemical formula is NHOH and is therefore a close relative of the compound ammonia. It is a powerful reducing agent and is used in organic chemical synthesis. At room temperature it is ordinar
HydroxylationHydroxylation is any chemical process that introduces one or more hydroxyl groups (-OH) into a compound (or radical) thereby oxidising it. In biochemistry, hydroxylation reactions are often facilitated by enzymes called hydroxylases. Chemistry.
