About
The phono-semantic compound 碱, with its traditional form 鹼, uses the stone radical 石 on the left to indicate a mineral or inorganic solid. The right component 咸 provides the pronunciation and subtly hints at the salty nature of certain mineral salts. This character denotes alkali or lye, and in modern chemistry it is the standard term for chemical bases, compounds that neutralize acids to form salts and water.
