i'm a bit confused. i know that NaOH is a strong base, but isn't the oxygen's formal charge zero in NaOH? so according to the handouts, there'd be no reaction... i feel like i'm overlooking something in this example...
@kicksforlife I believe he explained this earlier in the videos. NaOH is an ionic bond, therefore, each of the ions will keep their charge but still be bonded together because of their opposite charges.
Please donate, he just saved your ass.

@kicksforlife you probably don't need this anymore, but NaOH is ionic, always charged.
