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 Hโบ), informally called "proton"

In chemistry, the hydron, informally called proton, is the cationic form of atomic hydrogen, represented with the symbol H+. The general term "hydron", endorsed by IUPAC, encompasses cations of hydrogen regardless of โ€ฆ Wikipedia

Hydrogen: Whatโ€™s 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 (OHโ€“and 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.

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.

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+).
