Can we write hydrogen ion in place of hydronium ion in a sentence ?

Solution

I am afraid you cant do that.
hydronium is the common name for the aqueous cation H 3O+
whereas Hydrogen ion is strictly, the nucleus of a hydrogenatom separated from its accompanying electron.

So they are both different.

We know that h +ion when added to h2o gives us hydronium ion (h3o) + where h+ ion joins itself to one of the lone pair of h20 molecule but,

Can another h+ ion would form a dative bond to a remaining lone pair in h2o to form (h4o)2+ ion???
