Most of the time, the hydronium ion, symbol H3O+, is called hydrogen ion, symbol H[plus], even if the notion described by this term (hydrogen ion) represents not an hydrogen ion but "a proton (hydrogen ion) combined with a molecule of water." 6, record 1, English, - oxonium%20ion

L'ion hydrogène H[ plus], ou proton, est le noyau de l'atome d’hydrogène. Il ne semble pas que le proton puisse exister à l'état libre dans un solvant comme l'eau. Il s’associe en effet à une molécule d’eau, qui joue le rôle de base(accepteur de protons), pour former l'ion hydronium H3O+, ou ion hydrogène hydraté [...].

Le proton en solution aqueuse peut donner lieu à plusieurs écritures : - H[exposant]+(aq); cette écriture conventionnelle, simple et cohérente avec celle utilisée pour les autres ions, facilite l’écriture de nombreuses équations chimiques. - H3O+ (l’IUPAC recommande l’appellation oxonium).
