Answer:

in pure water, H2O molecules undergo a reaction in which two molecules react in such a way that one molecule give its H+ ion to other molecule and become a hydroxyl ion(OH-) and molecule which gain H+ ion become H3O+ ion.

Explanation:

H2O + H2O ⇄ ( H3O+) +( OH-)

Answer:

Hey there!

Auto-ionization of water is an ionization reaction in pure water or in another aqueous solution, in which a water molecule, H2O, loses the nucleus of one of its hydrogen atoms to become a hydroxide ion, OH−.

Let me know if this helps :)

100 PTS+BRAINILIEST: Why does it get colder as you go higher through the atmosphere, if you are getting closer to the sun??
sattari [20]

Answer/Explanation:

Heat from the sun hits the ground and is absorbed. The higher you go, it gets more colder due to the fact that the air doesn't hold onto the radiation as it goes straight through the ground, which is why the top of mountains are very cold, and people are able to die in minutes.

Atoms of which element have the greatest tendency to gain electrons?
Anastasy [175]
Fluorine. 

Because:- Atoms want to become stable, for an atom to become stable, they need 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine has 7 valence electrons, it only needs one more electron to become stable and have an octet. An octet is when an atom/element has 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine will need to gain an electron, it will have a negative charge, and become an anion.
