What is the difference between hydronium ion and hydrogen ion?

Answer 1

Hydrogen Ion is obtained by removing one electron from hydrogen atom. It is represented by H+ ,which is a proton. In aqueous solution it combines with water molecule to form hydronium ion, which is represented by H3O+.

Answer 2

The Hydrogen ion H+ consists of a hydrogen atom missing an electron, in other words its a proton. In water it occurs as the hydronium ion (H3O+) and in higher concentrations makes a solution acidic.

The Hydroxide ion OH- consists of a hydrogen ion covalently bonded to an oxygen atom that has an extra electron. It makes and aqueous solution basic or alkaline.

Answer 3

Hydronium ion (H3O+) is a positively charged ion formed when a water molecule (H2O) accepts a proton (H+) to become H3O+. It is commonly found in aqueous solutions where acids are dissolved. On the other hand, a hydrogen ion (H+) is simply a lone proton with a positive charge, often involved in acid-base reactions and does not exist freely in water as H+ but rather forms hydronium ions.

Answer 4

All are ions:

- hydrogen ion H+

- hydroxide ion OH-

- hydronium ion H3O+ , which is a type of oxonium ion

Answer 5

Hydride is the anion of Hydrogen, so it is H-

However, for hydroxide, it is a diatomic anion with the chemical formula of OH-
