Sodium hydroxide (\(\text{NaOH}\)), also known as caustic soda or lye, is a highly versatile white, solid ionic compound with a very high pH (strong base). Commonly used in drain cleaners, soap making, paper manufacturing, and food processing, it is produced primarily via the electrolysis of brine. It is hazardous, causing severe burns to skin and eyes, and requires careful handling.
