H plus is an ion. The plus indicates that it has a positive charge. This charge is due to the loss of an electron making the atom electrically unbalanced and thus charged.
The structure of atoms are relatively simple: in the nucleus there are the positively charged protons and neutral neutrons (although hydrogen has only one proton and no neutrons in its normal form); outside the nucleus there are shells of negatively charged electrons orbiting in shells (hydrogen has only one).
There are isotopes of hydrogen the most well known are deuterium and tritium.
Deuterium has one neutron and is often given the symbol D. Deuterium can combine with oxygen and form heavy water. Heavy water is slightly toxic to humans but only in large quantities. Heavy water is also more viscous than normal water.
Tritium has two neutrons and is often given the symbol T. Tritium is radioactive and has phosphorescence.

What element forms monatomic cation?
All of the metals form monoatomic cations (have only one atom) examples are potassium, K+; Iron, Fe2+,Fe3+ Polyatomic metal cations are rare Hg22- is probably the most likely one to be encountered
When a chemical formula has an H as the cation what kind of compound is it?
H + cation => acid
Is sodium hydroxide binary or polyatomic?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is polyatomic (contain atoms of Na, O and H).
What elements are isoelectronic with Helium Is Li the only one?
H-, Li+, Be2+ ions are isoelectronic with helium
Are polyatomic ions positively charged?
Most polyatomic ions have a negative charge. There are only 2 positive polyatomic ions; Mercury(I) ion and Ammonium ion. False.
What element forms monatomic cation?

Is NaOH polyatomic ion?
Yes, NaOH, (also called sodium hydroxide or lye), is an alkaline. It is in fact a very strong alkaline, strong enough to cause chemical burns.
What are the ions of water and what are their charges?
H2O ionized to.... H + ( a proton, a stripped of it's electron hydrogen atom and a cation. Positive charge ) OH - ( hydroxide polyatomic ion and an anion. Negatively charged. )
What is always true about a chemical formula with H as the cation?
A chemical formula with H as the cation will always be acidic in nature because H cation represents a proton which can release in solution and contribute to acidity.
When a chemical formula has an H as the cation what kind of compound is it?
H + cation => acid
What is the cation involved in pH?
The cation is hydrogen (+) - H(+).
What is an ionic compound containing any cation except H plus and OH?
An example of an ionic compound containing a cation other than H+ and OH- is sodium chloride (NaCl). In this compound, the sodium cation (Na+) is paired with the chloride anion (Cl-), forming a stable ionic bond.
Polyatomic ions always carry a positive charge?
False. Polyatomic ions can carry either charge. For example, consider the sulphate ion - SO42- or the hydroxide ion, OH-. Negative polyatomic ions are, in fact, generally more common than positive ones.
What is the difference between a monatomic ion and a polyatomic ion?
A monoatomic ion has only one atom examples are chloride, Cl-, fluoride, F-, sodium Na+ A polyatomic ion has more than one, e.g sulfate SO42-, nitrate, NO3-, mercurous, Hg22+ Poly is from the Greek and means "many"
Is sodium hydroxide binary or polyatomic?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is polyatomic (contain atoms of Na, O and H).
What is the polyatomic ions of ammonium?
The polyatomic ion of ammonium is NH4+. It is formed when a hydrogen ion (H+) is added to ammonia (NH3) to make it positively charged.
What causes positively charged H ions?
The lost of the electron produce the cation H+.
