In pure water one molecule gives a proton to another. This shows water is:
Aa non-proton solvent
Bamphiprotic in nature
Conly a strong acid
Donly a strong base
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. amphiprotic in nature
Water can both donate and accept a proton, so it behaves as an acid and as a base.
