What happens when water ionizes?

Answer 1

The self-ionization of water (also autoionization of water, and autodissociation of water) is the chemical reaction in which two water molecules react to produce a hydronium ion (H3O+) and a hydroxide ion (OH−): : 2 H2O (l) H3O+ (aq) + OH− (aq)

Answer 2

When water ionizes, it breaks apart into H+ ions (protons) and OH- ions (hydroxide ions). This process occurs when water molecules gain or lose an extra proton, leading to the formation of these ions. This ionization contributes to water's ability to conduct electricity and exhibit different chemical properties.

Answer 4

When an atom is ionized, that means that it is sharing one or more electrons with another atom.

Answer 5

In itself or aqueous solution water will deprotonate to become hydroxide ion OH-. The nucleus H+ will protonate another water molecule to form Hydronium (H3O+).

Answer 6

The reaction of water auto-ionization is:

2 H2O----------H3O+ + OH-

Answer 7

During ionization an atom gains or loses electrons, forming a negative or positive ion.

Answer 8

When ions are formed an atom, molecule, or substance has one ore more electrons removed or added to give it a net charge.
