a- they contain two hydrogen atoms
b- they dissociate to form protons
c- they have a negative charge
d- they are not found in pure water

A proton is a sub-particle present inside the nucleus of an atom and it holds a positive charge. Symbol of proton is .

Thus, we can conclude that the statement they have a negative charge, is true of hydroxide ions.
