- Hydron (chemistry)
In chemistry, hydron is the general name for the positive
hydrogen H+cation .Hydron is the name for positive
hydrogen ion s without regard to nuclear mass, or positive ions formed from natural hydrogen (hydrogen that has not been subjected toisotope separation ).Traditionally, the term "proton" was and is used in place of "hydron", by itself and in many chemical terms. However, such usage is technically incorrect, as only 99.999% of natural hydrogen nuclei are protons; the rest are deuterons and rare tritons.
Hydron was defined by
IUPAC in1988 .

Proton , having the symbol p or 1H+, refers only to the +1 ion of protium, 1H.Deuteron, having the symbol 2H+ or D+, refers only to the +1 ion of
deuterium , 2H or D.Triton, having the symbol 3H+ or T+, refers only to the +1 ion of
tritium , 3H or T.ee also
