Question

what is the nature of hydroxide ?

Answer 1

$<b><i>$


NATURE OF HYDROXIDES


according to Gallis if electronegativity pf A in a hydroxide (AOH) is more than 1.7 then it will be acidic in nature whereas it will be basic nature if electronegativity is less than 1.7


for example

NaOH

Electronegativity (Xa) = 0.9

Nature:- Basic


CIOH

Electronegativity (Xa) 3.00

Nature :- Acidic


if the values is more than Xo-XH , then that hydroxide will be basic otherwise it will be acidic.
