Water ionizes because: Select one: The smaller electronegative oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate. The larger electronegative oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate. The smaller electropositive oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate. The larger electropositive oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate. Water does not ionize well.

The larger electronegative oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate.

Explanation:

Water is a molecule composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms that forms a covalent bond i.e. share electrons. However, due to the fact that the oxygen atom in a water molecule is more electronegative than the hydrogen molecule, it tends to draw electrons towards itself, leaving the hydrogen atom more positive. This causes the POLARITY of water.

To ionize means for the atoms of a compound to dissociate into electrically charged ions (positive and negative) in an aqeous solution. Water is able to ionize because the more electronegative oxygen atom draws the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton (H+) to dissociate.

i dont know

explanation:

2h2o2--> 2h2o + o2

this reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen.

add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

this may not be entirely correct but let me know.
