Hüdroksiidi is the Finnish word for hydroxide. A hydroxide is a chemical compound containing a hydroxyl functional group (−OH) bonded to a metal cation or other cation. Hydroxides are typically ionic compounds, formed when a metal reacts with water or oxygen in the presence of water. Common examples include sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2).
In aqueous solution, hydroxides often dissociate to release hydroxide ions (OH−), which are characteristic of alkaline
