Hola mate,

Here is your answer.. :)

Alkoxide ion is an ion with a negative formal charge on oxygen atom bonded to an sp3 carbon atom (often, but not always, part of an alkyl group). The conjugate base of an alcohol.

Explanation:

Alkoxides are strong bases and good ligands (when R is relatively small). Generally, alkoxides are unstable in protic solvents, but they do occur as reaction intermediates. Transition metal alkoxides are used as catalysts and to prepare coatings.
