It's definitely a proton. Consider the configuration of a hydrogen atom: it consists of one proton in its nucleus and one electron orbiting the nucleus. If you remove the electron to make a hydrogen ion, what do you have left?

the answer is a proton. imagine about it, a unmarried hydrogen atom (H) is created from purely a proton and an electron. once you lose the electron you kind the valuable ion (H+) and this leaves purely a proton. observe: An electron is the different area of a hydrogen atom, and is mostly written as e-. A hydronium ion (H3O+) is shaped even as a proton (H+) bonds with water. A hydrate is only a substance that contains water.

The answer is B) A Proton
The + indicates a positive charge meaing that hydrogen's one electron has been removed leaving just one PROTON.
Hydronium --> has the same charge (+1) but is H3O+
Electron --> is what has been removed to form the ion
Hydrate --> is a synonym for water.

Ah I don't know. Hydroxide ions are OH-, and I don't remember the word for H+.
I know it's an ion, but I'm pretty sure it's not hydronium.
It's used in pH. Not that that helps you at all.

d that would be my best guess
reasoning-hydronium ions have the chemical formula H3O+
protons and electrons are subatomic particles

C: Electron
Hydrogen ions are also referred to as "floating electrons."
