Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is amphoteric, which means it can act as both a Braonsted-Lowry acid and a Bronsted-Lowry base. Strong acids and bases ionize completely in aqueous solution, while weak acids and bases ionize only partially. The conjugate base of a Brønsted-Lowry acid is the species formed after an acid donates a proton.
