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

Step-by-step 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.
