Can you see hydronium and hydroxide ions in a sample of pure water?

no, because pure water has an even number of H+ ions and OH- ions that have all bonded to form H2O.

Using a powerful microscope it is possible to see hydronium and hydroxide ions in a sample of pure water?
no
Using a powerful microscope it is possible to actually see hydronium and hydroxide ions in a sample of pure water?
false
The Ionization of pure water forms?
Hydronium and hydroxide ions
Does water ionize to form hydroxide and hydronium ions?
yes!
Is water an acid or base if it has less amount of hydroxide ions compared to hydronium ions?
It will be acidic having less amount of hydroxide ions.
What contain a positive charge hydronium ions hydroxide ions electrons or neutrons?
Hydronium Ions
In a neutralization reaction hydronium ions react with hydroxide ions to produce what?
Water and heat
Is OH- present in pure water?
its 7
What is the difference between hydroxide ions and hydronium ions?
Their are hydroxyl ions not hydroxide ions. They are OH- . hydronium ions are H3O+ . Presence of hydroxyl ionsin a compound shows its basic nature whereas presence of hydronium ions in a compound shows its acidic nature .
What is true about the relative concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in an acid solution?
In an acidic solution, the relative concentration of hydronium ions will always be higher than hydroxide ions. This means that the relatively concentration of hydroxide ions will always be lower than hydronium ions in an acidic solution. The reason for this is that in a neutral solution, the concentration of both hydronium ions and hydroxides ions are equal (both are 10-7). By making the concentration of hydronium ions greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions, the solution becomes acidic.
How are the concentrations of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions related?
The pH of a solution is related directly to its concentrations of hydronium ions(H3O^+) and hydroxide ions(OH-). Acidic solutions have more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions. Neutral solutions have equal numbers of the 2 ions. Basic solutions have more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions.
What contains more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions?
Acids
