Answer:
The reaction between two water molecules to produce hydronium ion and hydroxide ion is known as autoprotolysis of water. This is self ionization of water.

This reaction indicates the amphoteric nature of water. It can act as an acid as well as a base. One water molecule donates electron whereas other water molecule accepts electron.
