Water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Water can exist as two separate ions: a proton (H+) and a hydroxyl ion (OH-). At neutral pH, water has an equal number of both of these ions. If the water is basic, that means there are more hydroxyl ions than protons. Conversely if the water is acidic, there are more protons that hydroxyl ions.
