Answer:
The molecular formula for the hydronium ion is H3O+H3O+.
The hydronium ion is formed when the water molecule reacts with a hydrogen ion.
The reaction is as follows:
H2O+H+→H3O+H2O+H+→H3O+
The hydrogen ion does not have any electrons. The oxygen atom in the water molecule has two lone pairs of electrons. Thus, the oxygen atom shares one of its lone pairs and forms the coordinate covalent bond. Thus, the coordinate bond is present in the hydronium ion.
The structure of hydronium ion is as follows:
