A proton has the same electrical charge as a singly ionized positive ion.


Why is the H plus ion referred to as a proton?

Because it is a proton. A hydrogen atom is a proton and an electron; if you take the electron away to form a positive ion, all that's left is the proton.

What has a positive ion?

A positive ion is an atom or molecule that has lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net positive electrical charge. Examples include the hydrogen ion (H+) and the sodium ion (Na+).


When an atom has different amounts of protons and electrons it is called an?

An Ion. An ion can have an overall positive or negative charge. The negative charge of an electron exactly cancels the positive charge of a proton, so when an atom has an equal number of both, it carries zero charge. An ion with more protons than electrons has a positive charge, and is more specifically termed a cation. An ion that has more electrons than protons, and therefore a negative overall charge, is called an anion.


Which of these has a neutral charge a proton molecule electron or ion?

proton: positive chargemolecule: no charge, neutralelectron: negative chargeion: can be either positively or negatively charged


The ion that is a single proton?

H-1. Hydrogen has only one proton and electron; if this electron is removed a hydrogen ion is formed - effectively a proton.
