Best Answer

Hydrogen (H) is not the same as the Hydrogen ion H+. H+ is the term for a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron. Since the number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons, it is called an ion. Since the hydrogen atom is comprised of one proton and one electron, the hydrogen ion H+ is simply a proton.
