They are!
Water exists at a ph of 7 which means that there are 1x10-7 hydrogen atoms constantly available in ordinary water.
If you drop a nugget of any of the alkaline metals into water your get a violent reaction that ends up with free hydrogen and hydroxide ions.

What is transferred from each HC1 molecule to a water molecule when hydrogen chloride gas dissolves in water?
When hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas dissolves in water, hydronium ions (H3O+) and a chloride ions (Cl-) form. To form the hydronium ions, the hydrogen atoms of the HCl gas are transferred to the water molecule to form the hydronium ions.
What will happen to the sodium nitrate when it is put in water?
NaNO3 will dissolve in water. It will dissociate into Na+ ions and NO3- ions. And the ions will then be solvated by water molecule.
What ions form oxygen?
Oxygen is an element that exists as a molecule in its natural state. It originally contains no ions and later atoms are converted into ions when it is required.
Does ionic compound break into ions?
Yes, when combined with water the ions will dissociate because of the polarity of the water molecule.
When NaCI dissolves in water does it give ions or molecules or both?
Ions. NaCl is a molecule. And when put in water the polar quality of the water molecules pull apart the na and the cl into ions.
Why are hydrogen ions attratected to water molecules?
the hydrogen ions are attracted to the O in the molecule as it is more electronegative
How chromate ions are converted into dichromate ions?
In an acidic solution chromate ions are converted into dichromate ions.
How many ions are there in two moles of water?
None. A water molecule is made up of three atoms covalently bonded. Occasionally, however, a water molecule will separate into H+ ans OH- ions.
What is a dissolved molecule or ion?
In water, which is a polar molecule, ions care surounded by water molecules depending on the charge of the ion. Positive ions form eletrostatic interactions with the oxygen in water and negative ions, with the hydrogens. Polar molecules are easily dissolved in water because they form hydrogen bonds, sort of the same principle behind the interactions that happen between ions and water molecules.
When two water molecules react what do they create?
Two water molecules can react to from hydrogen bonds. If one water molecule acts as an acid and donates a proton to another water molecule then hydronium ions an hydroxyl ions can be formed as well.
Which element are in a molecule of water?
2 Hydrogen ions and 1 Oxygen ion
Which equation best represents the dissociation of water molecule into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions?
The equation is: H2O------>H+ + OH-
