hydroxide
Alkaline chemical group
Hydroxide is a chemical compound containing oxygen and hydrogen bonded together (OH), carrying a negative charge.
Hydroxides form when metals combine with this group: sodium hydroxide (lye), calcium hydroxide (slite lime), potassium hydroxide.
In chemistry, hydroxide ions make solutions basic or alkaline—the opposite of acidic.
The drain cleaner contains sodium hydroxide.
