∙ 6y agoOH2 is a very nonstandard way to write H2O, which is water. (When I was a high school student, a fad - which, fortunately, was short-lived - was to write it as "HOH" to show one of two things - that it was a hydrogen bonded to a hydroxy group and to show the order the atoms lined up in the compound. Thank Buddha we don't try to show atomic alignment in all compounds...imagine notating bromophenol blue dye - C19H10BR4O5S - that way. This thing has three aromatic rings held together with another carbon atom...a very ugly molecule to write a Lewis diagram for, but the 3D model of it is most satisfying...)
A common way to write chemical compounds is the Hill System, which was created by Edwin A. Hill of the US Patent and Trademark Office in 1900. It's most used for notating organic compounds, because it calls for the carbon atoms to be listed first, then the hydrogens and then all the other elements in the compound, in alphabetical order. Under Hill System, water is notated H2O because H comes before O in the alphabet.
Another popular way is to notate by electronegativity - an atom's tendency to attract electrons to itself. In this system, the least electronegative element is listed first...so, sulfuric acid is H2SO4 and not H2O4S:
H = 2.20 electronegativity
S = 2.58
O = 3.44
The hydroxy group is special: it's notated "backwards" (according to either Hill or electronegativity it should be HO) because of bonding. The hydroxy group has to bond to something like...oh, an ethane molecule to form ethanol or a sodium atom to form sodium hydroxide. The group is going to bond into the molecule through the oxygen atom rather than the hydrogen atom, so they write it "OH" to make that more clear.

There is no such substance as 'OH' . However, there is an anion(ion) ' OH^-' .
Notie it has a negative charge, which MUST be shown.

Balanced chemical equation hydrobromic acid with sodium hydroxide?
H+(aq)+ Br-(aq) +Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)----->H+(l)+OH-(l) +Br-(S) +Na+(S)By cancelling out the spectator ions we are left with...H+(aq) + OH-(aq) ------> H(l)+ + OH(l)-

Draw and name the enantiomer of D-glucose?
An enantiomer is a pair of structures which are mirror images of each other. For D-glucose:CHO | CHO| | |H--OH | OH--H| | |OH--H | H--OH| | |H--OH | OH--H| | |H--OH | OH--H| | |CH2OH | CH2OHOn the left is D-glucose, and on the right is L-glucose, mirror images.

What chemical reaction takes place in neutralization?
H+ + OH- = hydro-genesis.
What chemical substance is formed when the -H and -OH ends from your models?
This is the water molecule.
What is chemical symbol for alcohol?
Alcohol itself is not an element so it has no single symbol. The characteristic of an alcohol is OH, i.e. oxygen (O) combined with hydrogen (H), so every molecule with a OH part in it you call an alcohol. E.g. ethanol the most common alcohol is ethane with instead of a H a OH part.There are many chemical forms of alcohol, but the most common which is used in drinks is ethyl alcohol C2H5OH.Methylated spirits is ethyl alcohol to which a small percentage of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) is added to poison it to discourage its consumption.
