I think oxenium hydride would be more appropriate than hydroxyl taking into account the polarity of the two fragments (HO+ and H-), though AFAIK there is no standardized name for HO+.
Doesn’t an acid have to be an acid, though?
When you mix it with water, it’ll form a hydronium ion, what else do you need?
It can behave like an acid by donating a proton when mixed with a stronger base.
amphotericity is some weird shit, so yes. Water also an acid. (100% butchered the translation)
In that situation, is it called hydroxic acid, as OP says?
yes, but also in other situations too. It’s a valid name for water.
Where?
Here’s some other dank names from the Wikipedia info card thing:
- Oxidane
- Hydrogen oxide
- Hydrogen hydroxide (H2O or HOH)
- Hydroxylic acid
- Dihydrogen monoxide
- Dihydrogen oxide
- Hydric acid
- Hydrohydroxic acid
- Hydroxic acid
- Hydroxoic acid
- Hydrol
- μ-Oxidodihydrogen
- κ1-Hydroxylhydrogen(0)
- Aqua
- Neutral liquid
- Oxygen dihydride
Hydrol sounds like bottled water you’d buy at the pharmacy
Clearly I didn’t pay attention in chemistry
Beware of Dihydrogen Monoxide. It’s very dangerous!!!
- Causes thousands of deaths annually (via inhalation)
- Accelerates corrosion of metals
- Found in every cancerous tumour
- Major component of acid rain
- Leads to severe burns in gas form
- Detected in baby food and vaccines
⚠️⚠️⚠️
Star rust is also a cool name
