Why is water acidic basic and neutral?

Answer 1

because H2O can also be written HOH, the hydrogen with a positive charge is a sign of an acid, bonds to the negative one charge of the hydroxide which is a sign of a basic, because it gives off both it is neutral too.

Answer 2

Water can be acidic, basic, or neutral depending on the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) present. In pure water, these ions are at equilibrium, making it neutral (pH 7). If more H+ ions are present, water becomes acidic (pH <7). If there are more OH- ions, water becomes basic (pH >7).
