It's the hydrogen ion: H+

The answer above is only partly true. First of all, in any aqueous solution, it is hydronium, H3O+, and not the hydrogen ion that is found. Secondly, this answer assumes the Arrhenius definition (or Bronstead-Lowry definition) of acids. The most general definition of acids is the Lewis definition, which states that acids are electron acceptors. This has nothing to do with hydrogen or hydronium, and using this definition, an acidic substance may not have any H+ or H3O+ present. Using the Lewis definition, there is no common constituent in acid solutions in fact!

Are all acid solutions strong electrolytes?

Not all acid solutions are strong electrolytes. Strong acids, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid, completely dissociate into ions in solution, leading to strong electrical conductivity. Weak acids, such as acetic acid, only partially dissociate, resulting in a lower concentration of ions and weaker electrical conductivity.


Is an acid soluble in water?

A solution can only be acidic if it is aqueous as H3O+ ions cause acid properties. All acid solutions are by definition soluble in water.
