The H+ ion has a positive charge because it has lost one electron. Since hydrogen has only one electron in its base state, H+ has no electrons.
The positive charge of the ion occurs because the hydrogen atom has lost an electron. Electrons are negatively charged particles; therefore, losing an electron causes the hydrogen atom to become more positive (less negative) than before.

What is the charge of an oxygen and hydrogen polyatomic ion?
The ion hydronium, (H3O)+, is positive.
What is the most likely charge on an ion when hydrogen forms an ion?
Most likely, hydrogen will form a cation, meaning it will have a positive charge of +1
What is produced when an acid is mixed with water?
Hydrogen ions (Positive ions) and a negative ion
Ion difference between hydroxide and hydrogen?
Hydroxide is OH- it is a negative ion consisting of a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom covalently bound together. The hydrogen ion is H+ indicating a single hydrogen atom with a positive charge. However, it rarely exists on its own. In an aqueous solution it bonds with a water molecule to form the hydronium ion, H3O+
Are acid and hydrogen the same?
An acid is a molecule which, in a solution, separates into a positive and negative ion where the positive ion is one or more hydrogen atoms. Although an acid includes hydrogen atoms, a hydrogen atom or molecule alone is not an acid. Having said that, it can be noted that it is the hydrogen component (which is just the proton part) that makes a compound an acid,
When acids in water what positive ion is produced in excess?
When acids in water hydrogen positive ion is produced in excess. It is this hydrogen positive ion that gives acidity of a solution.
Does a hydrogen ion is a negatively charged hydrogen atom?
No, typically hydrogen forms a positive ion.
The ion formed when water and a positive hydrogen ion combine?
Tacoz
What ion is formed when water and positive hydrogen ion combine?
The ion hydronium is (H3O)+.
What is the charge of an oxygen and hydrogen polyatomic ion?
The ion hydronium, (H3O)+, is positive.
Why does ammonium have a positive charge?
The ammonium ion forms when an ammonia molecule (NH3) takes a hydrogen ion (H+) either from an acid or from water. The positive charge on the hydrogen ion is taken over into the new ammonium ion.
Is the positive ion of hydrogen a cation?
All positive ions are called 'cations' (by definition of this word)
What is the most likely charge on an ion when hydrogen forms an ion?
Most likely, hydrogen will form a cation, meaning it will have a positive charge of +1
What charge is near the hydrogen atom?
The neutral hydrogen atom is neutral; the ion (H+) is positive.
What is an example of a hydrogen pun?
A Hydrogen Ion walks up to a policeman and says, "I think I've lost an electron!" The policeman asks, "Are you sure?" The Hydrogen Ion replies, "I'm positive!"
What characteristic of water helps it cause a mineral to dissolve?
Water is a polar molecule meaning the oxygen part is negative the hydrogen is positive, so in an ionic compound the negative ion get attracted to the hydrogen and the positive ion to the oxygen.
How would you make a hydrogen ion?
covalently bonding it to another hydrogen ion
