Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The combination of an equal amount of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) forms water.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -H^ + ions and OH^-ions combine to form neutral water molecules in a neutralization reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt and involves the combination of H+ ions and OH-ions to generate water. The neutralization of a strong acid and strong base has a pH equal to 7.

Detailed explanation-3: -When an acid and a base react (combine) releasing equal quantities of H+ ions and OH-ions, neutralization results. H+ ions and OH-ions combine (neutralize each other) to regenerate water.

Detailed explanation-4: -A liquid with pH 7 is considered to be a neutral solution that contains an equal number of H+ and OH-ions in it. An example of such a neutral solution is water, which is composed of equal numbers of positively charged H+ ions and negatively charged OH-ions.

Detailed explanation-5: -H+ ions can combine with OH-ions to form neutral water molecules.
