AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says
Is it true that water is amphiprotic, meaning it can act as an acid by donating a proton or as a base by accepting a proton?
Yes. Water is widely documented in chemical literature as an amphiprotic substance because it can act as an acid by donating a proton or as a base by accepting a proton.
