Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)

Explanation: Sodium Hydroxide also known as Cautious Soda is a compound comprising of Sodium cations and Hydroxide anions.

It is white and in form of opaque crystals.

It is anhydrous and completely soluble in water.

It is also a Hygroscopic compound which explains its absorption of water from the air.

Sodium Hydroxide is also formed by a chlor alkali process which is an industrial processes used for the electrolysis of sodium chloride solutions.

This process produces sodium hydroxide and chlorine.

See simple equation below;

2NaCl + H2O ---> 2NaOH + Cl2

it takes on an electronical energy

every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
