This chemical structure is formed when an acid is disolved into water, as the cation (H+), which comes from the acid, cannot exist as such isolated in water (H20), hence the proton (H+) will be hydrated by a water molecule (H2O)
The union between H+ and H2O is due to the pair of electrons from oxygen and positive charge from H+
H3O+ units are also known as hydronium ions. Hence the answer is option B.
Explanation:
Hydronium ions is defined as ions that contains proteinated ions and it is present in all the aqua solutions. These ions are abundant in protons and they have less electrons in them. It is because they had donated electrons to their other forms which gives a positive sign to the ion.
Hydronium ion is produced when an Arrhenius acid is mixed with dihydrogen oxide. This iron is found in universe like in comets, interstellar things, etc.
