Definition: Anhydride is a term in chemistry used to describe a compound that lacks a hydroxide ion (OH-) due to lack of hydrogen bonding between the anion (-Na+) and cation (K+). It describes compounds like ammonia (NH3), sulfuric acid, or even simple water. The term emphasizes the absence of hydrogen bonds, which are essential for biological and chemical reactions, including the formation of covalent bonds.
