Most hydrogen ions are simply protons. They have no neutron associated with them, and because they are ions, there is no electron. If the hydrogen is known to have no neutron, it is called protium. For practical proposes, there is no distinction between a protium ion and a proton that is not part of a nucleus.
Some hydrogen ions are not simply protons, however, and have an associated neutron. In this form, the hydrogen is referred to as deuterium.
When hydrogen has two neutrons, it is called tritium, and is radioactive.

∙ 14y agoA hydrogen atom consists of a lone proton and its paried electron. If the hydrogen atom loses the electron and becomes a positively charged ion, the hydrogen atom would then consist only of the proton.

∙ 14y agoHydrogen atom only consists of one proton and one electron, so, if the electron is stripped away and the atom ionizes, all that's left is the proton.

∙ 12y agoYes. Hydrogen ions can be referred to as protons. When a neutral Hydrogen gives up its lone electron a proton is all that remains.

∙ 11y agoA neutral Hydrogen atom has one proton and one electron (no neutrons).
If it becomes ionized by losing its electron all that is left is a proton.

What ion is formed in an acidic solution?
A positive ion that releases a proton to water.
How do you find conjugate acid?
By adding one (1) proton (H+ ion) to the base formula:example:(base ammonia) NH3 + H+(proton) --> (conjugated acid ammonium ion) NH4+
Can hydrogen ion exist alonegive reason.(class-10)?
A hydrogen ion is also known as a proton. It is represented at H^+ or in aqueous solution, as H3O^+. So, yes, a hydrogen ion (H^+) can exist alone, and it is called a proton.
What does intramolecular proton transfer mean?
It means transfer of proton (or H+ ion) from one molecule to another.
When H20 ionizes the resulting H is?
The resulting H is a positive ion (cation). It is H+, also known as a proton.
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.
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.
What ion is formed in an acidic solution?
A positive ion that releases a proton to water.
A hydrogen ion is often referred to as a?
A proton
A hydrogen ion is often referred to as?
a Proton
What is the chemical name for the H minus ions?
H+ can be either called a hydrogen ion or a proton.
What can accept a hydrogen ion?
Well, it depends on what ion you are talking about: the H+ ion, 'proton,' or the H- hydride ion. Anions, Lewis bases accept the proton or H+ ion (HCl); but active metals can react with H- to form metal hydrides (NaH for example)
What is a hydrogen ion is often referred to as a?
a proton.... Plato on
What is a single proton?
Hydrogen + ion, H+
What is the name for the H- ions?
A hydrogen ion or a proton
What kind of ion does a base release?
The kind of ion is an H+-ion, also called a proton.
What is the hydronium ion and its formular?
The hydronium ion is simply the water ion with an extra proton. (H+) So: H2O + H+ ---> H3O+
