Question

During the formation of hydronium ion, water molecule acts as donor.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

A hydronium ion is written as $H_3{O}^{+}$.

It is formed when something else donates a proton, or $H^{+}$ to a water molecule.

The $H^{+}$ will easily bond to one of the two lone pairs of electrons around the water molecule.

$H^{+}+H_{2}O⟶H_3{O}^{+}$
