Hydrogen ion

A hydrogen ion is created when a hydrogen atom loses its electron. A lone hydrogen ion (or proton) can readily combine with other particles and therefore is only seen isolated when it is in a gaseous state or a nearly particle free space. Due to its extremely high charge density of approximately 2E10 times that of a Sodium ion, the bare hydrogen ion cannot exist freely in solution as it readily hydrates (bonds quickly). The hydrogen ion is recommended by IUPAC as a general term for all ions of hydrogen and its isotopes. Depending on the charge of the ion, two different classes can be distinguished: positively charged ions and negatively charged ions.
