Metal hydroxide

In chemistry, metal hydroxides are a family of compounds of the form Mn+(OH)n, where M is a metal. They consist of hydroxide (OH−) anions and metallic cations,[1] and are often strong bases. Some metal hydroxides, such as alkali metal hydroxides, ionize completely when dissolved. Certain metal hydroxides are weak electrolytes and dissolve only partially in aqueous solution.
