Hydrogen ion | Definition, Charge, Formula, & Facts | Britannica
July 20, 1998 - The hydrogen nucleus is made up of a particle carrying a unit positive electric charge, called a proton. The isolated hydrogen ion, represented by the symbol H+, is therefore customarily used to represent a proton.
cationic form of atomic hydrogen (symbol Hโบ), informally called "proton"

Hydrogen: Whatโs the difference between H, H2, H+, H- and OH- ? - Watermatters
The extra electron means that H- is not a free radical however it is not stable because this form of hydrogen is a very strong base (extremely alkaline) which reacts with water to produce hydroxide (OHโand molecular hydrogen (H2). ... Hydride (H:โ ) also reacts with metals to form chemical compounds which are reducing agents. ... Hydroxide (OHโ) is also known as the hydroxyl ion.

Hydrogen ion - Wikipedia
July 28, 2025 - Hydrogen forms the only cation that has no electrons, but even cations that (unlike hydrogen) still retain one or more electrons are still smaller than the neutral atoms or molecules from which they are derived. Hydrogen anions are formed when additional electrons are acquired: Hydride: general name referring to the negative ion of any hydrogen isotope (Hโ)...

1.3 The Hydrogen Ion
This is sometimes represented as H3O+ (the hydronium ion) but this one-to-one relationship is also inaccurate. Stewart suggests that the most accurate representation is {H:(H2O)n}+ to illustrate the reaction or interaction of H+ with water molecules. This would be extremely inconvenient to use clinically so we continue to speak of the hydrogen ion (H+) simply out of convenience.

The Hydronium Ion - Chemistry LibreTexts
January 30, 2023 - The hydrogen ion in aqueous solution is no more than a proton, a bare nucleus. Although it carries only a single unit of positive charge, this charge is concentrated into a volume of space that is only about a hundred-millionth as large as the volume occupied by the smallest atom.

The missing hydrogen ion, part-1: Historical precedents vs. fundamental concepts - PMC
The purpose of this review and commentary was to provide an historical and evidence-based account of organic acids and the biochemical and organic chemistry evidence for why cells do not produce metabolites that are acids. The scientific study of acids has a long history dating to the 16th and 17th centuries, and the definition of an acid was proposed in 1884 as a molecule that when in an aqueous solution releases a hydrogen ion (H+).
