Question

What is the difference betn hydronium ions and hydrogen ions. um?

Answer 1

The H3O+ ion is considered to be the same as the H+ ion as it is the H+ ion joined to a water molecule. The proton cannot exist in aqueous solution, due to its positive charge it is attracted to the electrons on water molecules and the symbol H3O+ is used to represent this transfer

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

In aqueous solution, acids combine with water molecules to form hydronium ion, which is represented by H3O+. Hydronium ions are often abbreviated as hydrogen ions (H+). An acid produces hydronium ions in solution by donating a proton (H+) to water.
