Question

The ionization of pure water forms _____.

Answer 1

Answer: The ionization of pure water forms hydroxide and hydronium ions.

Explanation:

Ionization is a reaction in the pure water in which water breaks down into its constituting ions that hydronium ion and hydroxide ions.

$H_2O+H_2O\rightleftharpoons H_3O^++OH^-$

One molecule of water looses its proton to form hydroxide ion and l=the lost protons get associated with another water molecule to form hydronium ion.
