If you could watch an individual water molecule, about once in 10 hours it would do this!

As it bounces around, every so often it hits another water molecule hard enough enough for one to steal a hydrogen nucleus - that is, a proton - from the other!

The water molecule with the missing proton is called a hydroxide ion, OH⁻. The one with an extra proton is called a hydronium ion, H₃O⁺.

This process is called the 'autoionization' of water. Thanks to this, roughly one in ten million molecules in a glass of water are actually OH⁻ or H₃O⁺, not the H₂O you expect.

And this explains why water conducts electricity so well. Let's watch.

Nice questions, @leemph!

  1. " Does this enables, somehow, "protonic" current flowing into suitable "water circuits"?"

Inside the Grotthuss mechanism I discussed, shown below, seems to be one of two important mechanisms for protons to move through water, the other being 'vehicular transport' where they move as part of hydronium ions H₃O⁺:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/grotthuss-mechanism

  1. "I believed that the electric charge of 1 electron balances perfectly the charge of 1 proton, as 1+(-1)=0."

That's true.

"So why the hydronium ion missing only 1 electron to be "neutral" attracts so many water molecules?"

In the van der Waals effect, a positively charged particle can polarize nearby neutral molecules, pulling their negatively charged bits towards it and repelling their positively charged bits. Then these neutral molecules are attracted to it!

@leemph -

  1. "Such structures that are then formed in water... are they visible? Ideally how large they can get?"

I don't think they get so large as to be visible, but they get quite large! Here is a hypothesized "icosahedral water cluster". In reality they aren't so perfect, since they're always being buffeted around by other water molecules.

It's bad enough that MAGA thugs are bum rushing us to a Trump dictatorship and, you know, trying to eradicate people like me by stoking fear with the uninformed.

But do they have to be such whiny bitches about it all?

Bro, are your white christian privelges and spray-tan Jesus really that fragile? Are your feelings so hurt that all you care about is revenge?

This grievance shit is getting old and I'm tired of it. Let's vote so hard that these fuckers will truly have something to cry about.

@luciedigitalni All my electricity bills are estimated. Am in ancient public housing unit. Have been told an accurate counter can be fitted, but they won’t pay, I won’t pay and I’m damn sure my landlord, Housing ACT, won’t pay. I put up with it because my bills are reasonable.

Is there any more readily disprovable and commonly accepted "fact" than spoons exploding in the microwave? It's almost always fine, and if it isn't you'll get some small sparks at worst

You probably think I'm kidding, and you could probably prove it in under a minute if you're at home, but you won't because you're scared of experiencing true freedom
