Which statement best describes the ph of pure water
a. it is neutral because the concentration of hydronium ions equals that of hydroxide ions
b. it is neutral because the pure liquid contains neither hydronium ions not hydroxide ions
c. it is acidic because it has a hydronium ion concentration of 1.0 x 10-7 m
d. its basic because it has a hydroxide ion concentration of 1.0 x 10-7 m

the answer is a. It is neutral because the concentration of hydronium ions equals that of hydroxide ions

Explanation:

it takes on an electronical energy

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
