A hydrogen ion or a proton
H+ can be either called a hydrogen ion or a proton.

A Neutral solution
OH- and H+
In aqueous solutions, the concentration of H⁺ ions (protons) and OH⁻ ions (hydroxide ions) is related to the pH of the solution. In acidic solutions, the concentration of H⁺ ions exceeds that of OH⁻ ions, leading to a lower pH. This imbalance occurs because acids release more H⁺ ions when dissolved in water. Conversely, in basic solutions, OH⁻ ions outnumber H⁺ ions, resulting in a higher pH.
A base is a substance that contains hydroxide ions (OH-) which can accept protons from water, resulting in the formation of hydroxide ions and free hydrogen ions (H+). This is why a base is known to form hydrogen ions in water.
