Which of the following statements regarding acid and base ionization in water is NOT correct?
A) A hydrogen atom directly bonded to an oxygen atom in a molecule is always significantly more acidic than water.
B) In strong acids, the acidic protons are generally bonded to highly electronegative elements such as O, Cl, Br, or I.
C) When a hydrogen atom is released as an H+ ion from an electronegative atom in an acid, the bonding pair of electrons remains on the electronegative atom.
D) Ionization of a strong acid in water is assisted by the strong dipole-dipole interactions between its ionizable H atoms and the O atoms in water molecules.
E) Ionization of water to form hydroxide in the presence of a base is often assisted by strong dipole-dipole interactions between H atoms in water and a lone pair of electrons in the base.
