Question

When 20H combine with another 2OH would it form oh subscript 4?

Answer 1

If you're asking whether you get

`color(red)(2"OH" + 2"OH" -> ("OH")_4)`...

no, that doesn't make sense. `("OH")_4` doesn't exist, because oxygen generally only makes two bonds at a time, and hydrogen generally only makes one bond at a time.

`"OH"` is `"O"-"H"`, but `("OH")_4` would be described by something like...

`stackrel("H")stackrel(|)"O"-stackrel("H")stackrel(|)"O"-stackrel("H")stackrel(|)"O"-stackrel("H")stackrel(|)"O"`

You should just get `4"OH"`... meaning there is no reaction at all.
