H plus is an ion. The plus indicates that it has a positive charge. This charge is due to the loss of an electron making the atom electrically unbalanced and thus charged.
The structure of atoms are relatively simple: in the nucleus there are the positively charged protons and neutral neutrons (although hydrogen has only one proton and no neutrons in its normal form); outside the nucleus there are shells of negatively charged electrons orbiting in shells (hydrogen has only one).
There are isotopes of hydrogen the most well known are deuterium and tritium.
Deuterium has one neutron and is often given the symbol D. Deuterium can combine with oxygen and form heavy water. Heavy water is slightly toxic to humans but only in large quantities. Heavy water is also more viscous than normal water.
Tritium has two neutrons and is often given the symbol T. Tritium is radioactive and has phosphorescence.

What element forms monatomic cation?
All of the metals form monoatomic cations (have only one atom) examples are potassium, K+; Iron, Fe2+,Fe3+ Polyatomic metal cations are rare Hg22- is probably the most likely one to be encountered
When a chemical formula has an H as the cation what kind of compound is it?
H + cation => acid
Does H plus exist in a solution by itself?
Yes, the cation H+ (hydron) exist in solutions. Also the hydrated form - hydronium - H3O+ - is possible.
Is sodium hydroxide binary or polyatomic?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is polyatomic (contain atoms of Na, O and H).
What do acid formulas have in common?
H is the cation
What element forms monatomic cation?
All of the metals form monoatomic cations (have only one atom) examples are potassium, K+; Iron, Fe2+,Fe3+ Polyatomic metal cations are rare Hg22- is probably the most likely one to be encountered
What are the ions of water and what are their charges?
H2O ionized to.... H + ( a proton, a stripped of it's electron hydrogen atom and a cation. Positive charge ) OH - ( hydroxide polyatomic ion and an anion. Negatively charged. )
What is always true about a chemical formula with H as the cation?
H + cation => acid
Is NaOH polyatomic ion?
Yes, NaOH, (also called sodium hydroxide or lye), is an alkaline. It is in fact a very strong alkaline, strong enough to cause chemical burns.
When a chemical formula has an H as the cation what kind of compound is it?
H + cation => acid
What is the cation involved in pH?
The cation is hydrogen (+) - H(+).
Does H plus exist in a solution by itself?
Yes, the cation H+ (hydron) exist in solutions. Also the hydrated form - hydronium - H3O+ - is possible.
Polyatomic ions always carry a positive charge?
False. Polyatomic ions can carry either charge. For example, consider the sulphate ion - SO42- or the hydroxide ion, OH-. Negative polyatomic ions are, in fact, generally more common than positive ones.
An anion of chlorine or other halogen?
it is used for disinfecting the municipal water.
Is sodium hydroxide binary or polyatomic?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is polyatomic (contain atoms of Na, O and H).
What is the difference between a monatomic ion and a polyatomic ion?
A monoatomic ion has only one atom examples are chloride, Cl-, fluoride, F-, sodium Na+ A polyatomic ion has more than one, e.g sulfate SO42-, nitrate, NO3-, mercurous, Hg22+ Poly is from the Greek and means "many"
What do acid formulas have in common?
H is the cation
