Na is the symbol for Sodium and


O is the symbol for Oxygen and

H is the symbol for Hydrogen

When, "linked together", NaOH is the compound sodium hydroxide, a strong base. OH is a hyrdoxyl group (a functional group with specific properties); hence, the compound is known as sodium hydroxide.

Answered by DrBob222
Yes, it makes a solution of NaOH.
You may designate it as NaOH(aq) or as the hydrated ions; e.g., Na^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) depending upon the specific question and/or the preferences of your instructor.
