The correct statement regarding pure water amongst the following is :–
| A. |
It contains only single species, i.e., `H_2O` molecules |
| B. |
It contains three spcies `H^2O` (molecules), `H^+` and OH–. |
| C. |
It contains only two species `H_3O^+` and `OH^–`. |
| D. |
It contains three species `H_2O` (molecules) `H_3O^+` and `OH^–`. |
 |
Water remains feebly ionised into `H^+ and OH^–` ions. `H^+` ion does not exist independently but as `H_3O^+` as shown below :
