Popis: When analyzing the broadband absorption spectrum of liquid water (10^10 - 10^13 Hz), we find its relaxation-resonance features to be an indication of Frenkel's translation-oscillation motion of particles, which is fundamentally inherent to liquids. We have developed a model of water structure, of which the dynamics is due to diffusion of particles, neutral H2O molecules and H3O+ and OH- ions - with their periodic localizations and mutual transformations. This model establishes for the first time a link between the dc conductivity, the Debye and the high frequency sub-Debye relaxations and the infrared absorption peak at 180 cm-1. The model reveals the characteristic times of the relaxations, 50 ps and 3 ps, as the lifetimes of water molecules and water ions, respectively. The model sheds light on the anomalous mobility of a proton and casts doubt on the long lifetime of a water molecule, 10 hours, commonly associated with autoionization.
