A proton cannot have a certain amount of ions; it is reversed. Ions can have a certain amount of subatomic particles specifically electrons, protons and neutrons. Lets say we have lithium. To make Li be an ion, such as Li+ , you would have to take away one electron to make it unbalanced. Protons and electrons are normally the same number, but for an ion, the proton remains the same while the electron loses or gains.
All isotopes and ions of hydrogen have one proton.
All lithium atoms (ions or neutral) have 3 protons.
A hydrogen ion or a proton
Hydrogen ions (H+).
A hydrogen ion or a proton
Ammonia accepts H+ ions to form NH4+ ions. Bases are proton acceptors
Hydrogen ions from acids dissociate in water to form hydronium ions (H3O+), increasing the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution. This high concentration of hydronium ions results in a low pH, giving acids their characteristic acidic properties. The hydronium ions also donate protons to other substances, allowing acids to act as proton donors in chemical reactions.

H+ ions are associated with acids as they can donate a proton, making a solution acidic. OH- ions are related to bases as they can accept a proton, making a solution basic. In water, the presence of H+ ions and OH- ions determine the pH level of a solution, with a balance between the two indicating neutrality.
HNO3 is an acid because it can release hydrogen ions (H+) in solution, making it capable of donating a proton to other substances. This proton donation is what classifies it as an acid according to the Brønsted-Lowry definition.
There are many different types of ions, having many different quantities of electrons and protons. The H+ ion has one proton and no electrons. That's the simplest.
An acid is defined as a proton donor because it is able to release hydrogen ions (protons) in a solution. When an acid dissolves in water, it donates a proton to water molecules, forming hydronium ions (H3O+). This ability to donate protons is what gives acids their characteristic acidic properties.
