Is a hydroxyl ion called hydroxide when in a compound?
Answer:
When you are naming a compound the term used is hydroxide. THe term hydroxyl is only used when calculating pH, referring it to an ion in solution, radical formation or as an organic substituent. As in pH you ususally refer to it as the hydroxl ion concentration. Also when you say that you have hydroxyl ions dissolved is solution. Also when hydroperoxides decompose you form hydroxyl radicals. When you have an OH- bonded to a organic molecule then the term is used here too. An expamle would be hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene. Hope that helped
