A hydrogen ion.
(a hydrogen atom has a one proton nucleus and one electron, if it loses the electron you have a hydrogen ion - just a lonely proton)
(OH! There are hydrogen atoms that have a neutron actually - they are rare and somewhat valuable [so called HEAVY WATER contains such ions for example])

∙ 13y agoA naked proton is a naked hydrogen (H) nucleus that has NO electrons. In other words it is a positive hydrogen ion. (H+) A negative hydrogen ion (H-) would have 2 electrons like a helium atom. Ions form because normally, all of the protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom would all be equal. Electrons have a negative charge, Protons have a positive charge, and Neutrons have no charge. In a normal Hydrogen atom, the Proton that is positive and the Electron that is negative, the charges wipe each other out. But with no negative charge from an electron, the proton's positive charge takes it over making it a positive hydrogen ion (H+). When there is 2 electrons in a Hydrogen atom, the electron's negative charge takes over and to make a negative hydrogen atom (H-).

What are the protons in hydrogen atom?
The proton is an elementary particle with the mass 1.00727646677 atomic units of mass and the electrical charge +1. It is a hydrogen ion in which one electron is lost. But since hydrogen only has one electron and one proton, a hydrogen ion is just called a "proton", since only a proton is left.
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.
Why size of hydrogen ion is greater than its atom?
It is NOT greater. It is smaller. This is because the Hydrogen ion has lost its electron from the atom and is thus smaller. The hydrogen ion is a proton.
What common ion has zero electrons?
A hydrogen ion, often called a proton, because that's all it is - one proton in the nucleus and no electrons. Tiny, but powerful!
A hydrogen atom that does not contain a neutron hydrogen ions can can be thought of as?
Hydrogen H+ ion is (i.s.o. 'can be thought of as ...) one 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.
How many proton does a hydrogen ion have?
All isotopes and ions of hydrogen have one proton.

What is a single proton?
Hydrogen + ion, H+
A hydrogen ion is often referred to as a?

A hydrogen ion is often reffered to as a?
A proton.

a Proton
What element has one proton and zero neutrons?
Hydrogen ion is the only element that has no neutron and one proton. That is why it is basically a proton.
What is another name for an isolated proton?
Hydrogen Ion
What are synonyms of proton?
Hydrogen nucleus, hydronium ion
What is the name for the H- ions?
A hydrogen ion or a proton
What is an example of a proton?
Ion of hydrogen.
