Hey mate!!
➡️A hydronium ion is formed when a +vly charged hydrogen ion bonds with a molecule of water through a coordinate covalent bond. In this coordinate covalent bond ; the oxygen from H2O molecule uses both of its es for the bond. The hydrogen ion does not have any electron to contribute.
Since hydronium ion is lacking in electrons ; it keeps the +ve charge of the hydrogen ion.
Therefore the eq is
H+ +H2O---------H30+

✰ Question Given :
- ➼ hydronium ions are always in the form H3O+
✰ Required Solution :
- ➼ Hydronium ion are always in the form of H3O+ because hydrogen ion can't exist alone, but they exist after combining with water molecule.
